Make registration
Classes will be held on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 19:00 to 22:15 and 23.10 (Saturday) from 8:30 to 10:30, replacing 10.12 (Tuesday), the national holiday. The aim is to raise awareness of the importance of equal participation in politics by providing nominating tools that promote greater equality, fairness and democracy.
Diversity
Flavia da Costa Viana, Chief Justice and Executive Director of the TRE-PR School, said this edition of the course will reflect on the importance of diversity in political debate. “Attention will be paid not only to the need for greater participation of women in public life, but also to other minority groups.”
The judge emphasizes that it is never superfluous to recall the words of Minister Barroso in his inaugural speech to the High Electoral Court (TSE): “The involvement of idealistic and competent women in politics is an important requirement of the country. Women make up half of the population. And black, brown or indigenous people make up half of the women. We need to increase diversity in Brazilian public life. We are a multinational, multiracial, multicultural country. We must realize that this is an asset, a dignity, a privilege that history has given us. “
According to Judge of the 174th Electoral Zone of Curitiba (PR) and President of the Women in Politics Commission, Adriana de Lourdes Simette, “The idea is to convey relevant information about the electoral and electoral process so that when elections approach, women and people involved in politics, regardless of party and ideological nuances, can be better prepared to participate in the next elections. “
The following topics are discussed during the course: legal aspects of women’s participation; political parties; budget and campaign funding; accountability; Communication; ballot box security and verification of electronic voting; registration of the application; democracy; diversity; social networks and civil language.
This is the second edition of a series of lectures that first took place in October 2019. The initiative is part of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the 2030 Agenda of the United Nations (UN) Global Compact. In particular, it responds to the goals set in Goal 5, which aims to achieve gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls. It is also in line with Objective 9 of the judiciary, which encourages action to prevent or reverse litigation related to the 2030 Agenda SDGs.
