The Mapping of Statistical and Information Sources: Indicators Report compiles already existing indicators, but spread across different statistical and information sources.

The collection covers the period from 13 March 2020 to 5 May 2023, matching the chronological scope of the RePeME project which foresees the systematic collection of information for two time frames: 1) emergency/during the pandemic; 2) change/after the pandemic. The information is presented in a table, in four points: indicator, date (corresponding to the year), source of information with reference/link to the origin of the data and brief description of the result. Whenever necessary, supplementary information has been introduced in footnotes.

This report, which is a product of Task 1 of the project, area 2/State of the Art, was completed on June 23, 2023.

The Report is available on the RePeME Community of the multidisciplinary open access digital repository Zenodo and in the Harvard University’s open-access repository Harvard Dataverse, which includes the world’s largest collection of social science research data.

OP.Edu – the Observatory for Education and Training Policies organises, in collaboration with the School of Education of IPLUSO  (ESEL-IPLUSO), an Online Open Class on Electronic Search in Bibliographic Databases.

The session, which will be facilitated by the Director of the Victor de Sá Library, Professor José Carlos de Carvalho, will take place on Tuesday, October 17, from 12:00 to 13:30. Participation is free. You can access the Zoom link here.

OP.Edu researcher Teresa Teixeira Lopo presented the paper The thought of Amílcar Cabral and education: From the theoretical assumptions of the democracy building to its (re)discovery in the contemporary epistemic field(s) co-authored with Arlinda Cabral, researcher from LusoGlobe – Lusófona Centre on Global Challenges, at the XV Luso-Afro-Brazilian Congress of Social Sciences (CONLAB) and IV Congress of the International Association of Social and Human Sciences in Portuguese Language (CONAILPcsh).

The researchers presented and discussed with the public the first results of an ongoing  project on Amílcar Cabral’s Thought and Education, which aims, on the one hand, to analyse the reception of Amílcar Cabral’s work in Portugal and in European countries of the Guinean and Cape Verdean diaspora, taking the year 1970 as the starting point, the date of the publication by François Maspero of O Poder das Armas; and, on the other hand, to identify which educational challenges were addressed by the research carried out in Portugal between 1974 and 2024.This analysis, which involves consulting national and European databases, archives and institutional repositories, aims to compile a  broad corpus of documents that includes press articles, reviews and articles published in scientific journals and master’s dissertations and doctoral theses.

The Congresses, which took place between 26 and 28 September 2023 in the city of Praia, Santiago Island, Cape Verde,  under the theme Reinventing Democracy in a World of Insecurity: Challenges for the Social Sciences and Humanities  aimed, among other goals, to foster the debate on topics of academic and social relevance, and to strengthen the International Association of Social and Human Sciences in Portuguese Language  (AILPcsh) as a locus of academic and social convergence in Portuguese-speaking countries and regions.

The dossier Institutional Discourses of Authority on the School and the Education Systems: Circulation and (Re)production of Meanings in Education Research, which is part of issue 59 of the Revista Lusófona de Educação, is already online.

AILPcsh – International Association of Social Sciences and Humanities in Portuguese Language,  was established following eleven Luso-Afro-Brazilian Social Sciences Congresses, the first edition of which dates back to 1990. Biannually held, the Congresses have promoted the development of a relevant community of scientists in the Social Sciences and Humanities in the Portuguese-speaking countries – Angola, Brazil, Cape Verde, Guinea-Bissau, Mozambique, Portugal, São Tomé and Príncipe and East Timor. These Congresses have led to several scientific research collaborations and important publications.

The Congress program, under the theme Reinventing Democracy in a World of Insecurities: Challenges for Social Sciences and Humanities, will include conferences, thematic sessions, round tables, working groups, oral papers, cultural activities and network meetings.
