The event will be held from November 25 to 27 this year at the Asklepiós Theater of the Federal University of Goiás (FM UFG), in the Colemar Natal e Silva Campus, in the University Sector, in Goiânia.

The entire program can also be accessed electronicallyhereThe meeting is open to the entire society and primarily aimed at members of the heteroidentification commissions of federal and federal institutes across Brazil.
The president of the Complementary Confirmation to Self-Declaration Heteroidentification Commission of UFG, linked to the Institution's Inclusion Secretariat (CCA/SIN/UFG), Pedro Rodrigues Cruz, highlights the importance of establishing an institutional and national space for debating the specifics, possibilities, and challenges of the commissions' work, with a view to strengthening, improving, and unifying procedures and flows of phenotypic self-declaration in public education selection processes. This process is a structural element in ensuring the effectiveness of public policies of affirmative action as a tool for historical reparations of social and racial inequalities in Brazil.
"We also aim to present unified protocol suggestions, at a national level, for the commissions' actions, as well as propose structural actions for continuous training of the assessment boards' members, to ensure a humanized, technical, anti-racist, and respectful of human rights performance, which, in fact, guarantees the right to access technical, professional, and higher education for the subjects of racial quota policies," he adds.
According to Pedro Cruz, in addition to promoting, socializing, debating, systematizing, and unifying successful practices for the commissions' work, the seminar will also celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Heteroidentification Commission of the Federal University of Goiás, established in February 2016.
