Thereza Marcílio Gustavo Amora Brazil Global Leaders for EarlyChildhood
Premises • Talking/listening • Playing • Nurturing/Care • Safe/interesting spaces
Evaluation • We should focus less on people inside the network and try to reach people outside the network; • We made a political/institutional evaluation of the brazilian scenery trying to find opportunities, strengths, challenges. • As a result we saw the Ministry of Culture as an opportunity and the Council of Rights of the Childhood as a challenge.
Strategies • Focus on partnerships: ABMP, MS, MEC,SAE (Brazil 2022), • State Networks: Ceará and Pernambuco • Advocacy • Comunication with focus on Internet • Working Groups: • 9 years basic education • Educational cities • Violence against children
Advocacy • Monitoring Congress and Advocacy actions • Monitoring and influencing Media: Boletim Primeira Infância em Primeiro Lugar • Monitoring Social Networks and building partnerships on the Internet • Strengthening international alliances and building regional alliances
Case: PLS 414/09 • It is a project of a bill to obligate children five years of age to enter elementary school; • Context: the basic education system of 9 years and a semantic misunderstanding; • The interest of parents on learning how to read and write instead of playing and development
Wide Range of partners = Strong Social Mobilization • The allianceproduced technical documents, organized meetings with representatives in the Congress and within the Ministry of Education • Online petition with thousands of signatures (change.org) • Public hearings in the National Congress (both houses) • Releases and demanding on traditional media • Self organized events on States • Great mobilizations in Brasília during the public hearings
Result • The Senator Flávio Arns invited us for a meeting in his office obvioulsy trying to persuade us to support his bill. • After the political scenery created by the first public hearing on Senate, he offered a proposal of agreement in which he retrieved a few points compared to the initial one. • It was late, there was a consensus against his bill and the deputies decided to create a new project in partnership with the Alliance to solve the semantic problem.
