As bibliotecas públicas desempenham um papel relevante para a qualificação das pessoas e para a afirmação e exercício da cidadania ao providenciar-lhes acessibilidade a recursos informativos, culturais e tecnológicos. Garantir a democratização ao seu acesso, promover a inclusão social e a valorização da comunidade são pressupostos em que assentam a visão, missão e objectivos da Biblioteca Municipal do Seixal. BiblioDOMUS é um projecto que tem por finalidade contribuir para a materialização dos pressupostos do nosso trabalho, um serviço de leitura domiciliária prestado a munícipes com necessidades especiais devido a problemas de mobilidade, permanentes ou temporários. Pretende-se que estas pessoas, apesar das suas limitações possam, como todos os outros cidadãos, usufruir dos seus direitos de acesso à cultura e à informação.
La malaria, enfermedad transmisible e infecciosa causada por el protozoario del género Plasmodium, presente en el mosquito perteneciente al género Anopheles se destaca como un persistente problema de salud pública en todo el mundo, principalmente en las regiones tropicales, En los últimos años, a pesar de los esfuerzos para contenerla, su tasa de incidencia ha crecido con rapidez, especialmente en América del Sur. En este contexto, la Dra. Vera Carvalho, por medio de esta entrevista, comparte informaciones actualizadas sobre las estrategias para reducir la transmisión, el control de los mosquitos y las acciones de promoción y prevención en salud. La misma ha mencionado los avances de las investigaciones en vacunas, la consolidación de pruebas rápidas para regiones de difícil acceso, las mosquiteras impregnadas, como también resalta la importancia de acciones de concienciación para la educación en salud y su consecuente cambio de hábito en la población. Palabras clave: enfermedades trasmisibles, malaria Abstract Among communicable diseases, malaria stands out as a persistent public health problem worldwide, but mainly in tropical regions. In recent years, despite efforts to contain it, incidence rates related to this disease have grown rapidly, especially in South America, showing a reversal of the situation compared to that of previous decades, when its eradication seemed close. In this sense, strategies to reduce transmission, mosquito control and health promotion and prevention actions should be integrated so that they can be implemented simultaneously, thus reducing rates and improving the future prognosis of this infectious disease. For this debate, Epicenter Magazine invites Dr. Vera (add information) to analyze the various aspects of this topic.
Global citizenship education (GCE) has been deemed an educational imperative to respond to the times of unprecedented change we are living in. Existing research with preschool children indicates that GCE nurtures personal respect and respect for others, and raises children’s civic engagement, which are fundamental aspects in creating and sustaining peaceful societies. Despite this, empirical studies focusing on GCE pedagogies for the early years are still lacking, particularly with vulnerable groups of children. This qualitative case study aims to understand the contribution of the Awakening to Languages approach in the development of attitudes, values and skills conducive to global citizenship and positive peace. The study was conducted with a group of Portuguese children aged 3 to 6 living in a care home run by a religious congregation. Children participated in a five-month project titled ‘A house where we all fit’, which included multilingual activities and virtual exchanges with children in similar institutions in Colombia and Tanzania. Data were collected via questionnaires, self-assessment sheets and fieldnotes, which were treated using descriptive statistics or content analysis. Results suggest that the activities promoted children’s awareness of and respect for diversity, raised their self-knowledge and self-esteem, and developed communication and collaboration skills.
