This morning, at the Concordia Convention Center, the I Concordia Pedagogical Congress began, an initiative organized by the Undersecretariat of Education of the Municipality of Concordia. With the participation of more than 1000 registered teachers, the day was dedicated to reflection and exchange regarding the challenges and opportunities of current education.
The event was attended by the Mayor, Dr. Francisco Azcué; the Undersecretary of Education, Prof. Carlos Gatto; the Departmental Director of Schools, Prof. Julio Barrios; and the Academic Secretary, Julián Parenti, who officially inaugurated the Congress.
During the opening of the congress, the Mayor, Dr. Francisco Azcué, underscored the importance of these spaces in the integral development of the city. "The commitment to education is one of the pillars of our administration. Betting on teacher training and the improvement of our educational system is investing in the future of Concordia. I am convinced that this Congress will mark a turning point in the way we approach teaching and learning in our community," stated Azcué.
“We want to transform our city and for that, the most powerful tool we have is education. The children who go to school are children from Concordia, they are young people who live in my city, and at that point, it is irrelevant whether the jurisdiction belongs to the Province or the Municipality. I want there to be opportunities in my city so that people can develop their life projects and get ahead by being part of the system,” highlighted Azcué.
For his part, the Undersecretary of Education, Prof. Carlos Gatto, highlighted the relevance of the meeting for the local educational community and the region. “This Congress is a fundamental space for teachers to share experiences, generate new ideas, and, above all, reflect on the future of education in a context that demands innovation and commitment. Today, more than ever, we must work together to strengthen our practices and accompany our students in this process of transformation,” expressed Gatto.
The Departmental Director of Schools, Prof. Julio Barrios, also emphasized the need to strengthen dialogue and the exchange of knowledge among the different actors of the educational system. "We are living in times of great transformations, and this Congress is a unique opportunity for teachers from Concordia and the region to update themselves, debate, and jointly build new strategies that favor the learning of our students," affirmed Barrios.
In his speech during the inauguration of the I Concordia Pedagogical Congress, the Academic Secretary, Julián Parenti, highlighted the importance of rethinking teacher training in a context of constant change. "Today we face a world that demands new ways of teaching and learning. This Congress is an opportunity to reflect on how our training institutions can adapt to those challenges, providing teachers not only with tools, but also with a space for professional and personal growth," noted Parenti.
The I Concordia Pedagogical Congress features an outstanding group of national speakers who, throughout the day, will address topics such as educational inclusion, the use of technology in the classroom, the articulation between the different levels of the educational system, and the challenges faced by teachers in the 21st century. Among the speakers are experts such as María Lucía Feced Abal, Diego García Francés, Juan Carlos Llorente, and Marcela Mangeón.
The day continued with multiple conferences, where teachers had the opportunity to delve into the topics addressed, exchange ideas and experiences, and take away practical tools to implement in their classrooms.
The I Concordia Pedagogical Congress is presented as a key event for education in the city and the region, and reaffirms the municipality's commitment to the training and professional development of its educators.
Present were the Undersecretary of Sports Ivana Pérez and councilwomen Silvina Ovelar and Yaiza Pessolani Bechet.
