General Info

The 3rd International Congress of 21st Century Literacies (ICCL2024), which will take place on November 29 and 30, 2024, at the Instituto Politécnico de Beja, aims to promote and rethink literacy in different areas of knowledge as part of the right to education.

ICCL2024 will provide a forum, of interest to the scientific community in general, in which reflections on the key skills for exercising informed, critical and participatory citizenship will be stimulated, in a society undergoing constant and rapid change and evolution.

This meeting is intended to provide an opportunity for new scientific collaborations between national and foreign researchers.

The event is open to the entire scientific and academic community (with or without oral communication/poster) and will have a hybrid format (in-person and online).
