Speakers: Corina Castro e Silva Braga de Oliveira and Maria Alice Gomes de Oliveira (Coordination of Education for Democracy, Chamber of Deputies, Brazil); David Carr (Senior Teacher Training Specialist, Education and Engagement, UK Parliament)
Chair: Professor Cristina Leston-Bandeira (University of Leeds and Chair of IPEN)
This Public Engagement Hub seminar will focus on teacher training by parliaments. It will showcase how two parliaments have tried to amplify their education provision by investing in teacher training programmes.
We will hear about how the Chamber of Deputies in the Brazilian Congress and the UK Parliament have approached teacher training – including the Pedagogic Mission programme in Brazil and the Teacher Ambassador programme in the UK.
The seminar will address the provision they offer specifically aimed at teachers, what works particularly well, and where challenges remain.
The seminar will take place on Zoom and is open to anyone with an interest in public engagement with parliaments.
It will will be presented in English. Translation will be available from/to French and Spanish.
This seminar is jointly organised by the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) and the International Parliament Engagement Network (IPEN). The event is part of a series of webinars hosted by the Public Engagement Hub.
