With the participation of more than 1,900 teachers, the III Pedagogical Congress Concordia was held this Wednesday, organized by the Municipality of Concordia, through the Undersecretariat of Education and Culture, under the motto “New Scenes for Educating: Bonds, emotions and technologies for learning and living together”.
During the day, participants were able to share different conferences led by Carlos Sigvardt, Lorena Guglielmone, Roberto Canay, Luciana Turinetto, Pablo Mainer and Ivana Pérez, who addressed topics related to the main challenges currently facing education.
The presentations addressed topics such as trajectories and learning in contexts influenced by screens, artificial intelligence in the classroom, online gaming and gambling addiction, teacher emotional well-being, bullying and school coexistence, and body communication.
During the opening of the congress, the mayor Francisco Azcué first thanked the teachers for their participation in being part of this proposal “because they demonstrate the commitment they have to the community. There is no more important tool than education to transform, improve and grow a city”.
In that vein, Azcué maintained that this is where spaces like these acquire greater relevance “where it is transcendent to train ourselves due to the importance that teachers have for our children and young people”, which is why “we must not stop putting the person at the center of the scene, transmitting values, listening, being better, in addition to adding tools and technology. Our commitment is to continue working so that this congress continues to grow year after year. We are grateful for the teachers we have in Concordia because there is a great vocation for service”.
The vice-mayor and president of the Deliberative Council Magdalena Reta de Urquiza highlighted the holding of the congress, which she defined as “a place to improve oneself in the face of the new challenges that arise, such as the advancement of technology and where education is part of that transformation”.
The Secretary of Human Development Carlos Gatto stressed that “this year's topics are related to issues that affect us as a society, both in children and adolescents. Before organizing each congress, we see what the concerns of the teachers are, what problems they have to solve, from where we can accompany them, and from there we work on the organization and summon professionals like the ones we have today”.
Finally, the Departmental Director of Schools of Concordia Alejandro Ramírez stated that “all training for those of us who are teachers is very important, and it gives us great satisfaction that these spaces can be provided, which allow for improving the quality of education, which is paramount”.
AN ARTICULATED EFFORT TO TALK ABOUT EDUCATION
The realization of the Congress was also possible thanks to the accompaniment and articulated work with different sectors of the community, including Nexon/Consumax and the Cooperativa Eléctrica de Concordia, which provided their support to carry out this proposal.
Likewise, the organization thanked the “Jesús Te Ama” Church for making its facilities available to receive the participants and allowing the meeting to take place given the large turnout recorded.
With this third edition, the Municipality of Concordia continues to strengthen a proposal that seeks to consolidate itself as a space for training, meeting and reflection for those who have a fundamental role in educational processes, promoting a comprehensive view of the new scenes that cross the task of educating.
