Main Objectives:

Following the previous CICA (International Interdisciplinary Congress for Children and Adolescents), funded by the DRCT, the V CICA seeks to continue to broaden and deepen issues related to childhood and adolescence. This V CICA, under the theme “Let's Play?!” comes to meet the needs of updating scientific and pedagogical knowledge inscribed in the evaluations that the participants of the previous editions made, where the theme in question is mentioned repeatedly, as a fundamental strategy for an approach to childhood and its problems more in line with the real ones. development and learning needs of children and youth. As the Lego Foundation/UNICEF Report (2018) states, play is one of the most important ways in which children develop essential knowledge and skills for life, so opportunities to play and contexts that favor play, exploration and manipulation must be present throughout childhood. Playing is a stimulating and enriching activity from different perspectives, as stated by Anna Tardos (2014) in her book “El maior y el juego del niño”, because while playing, the child discovers the properties of objects and learns what they can do with them. , learn to observe and act, learn to overcome obstacles, learn to predict what might happen. Stuart Brown, founder of the National Institute for Play, in the United States, says that play is a physical exercise and an exercise for the mind, with lifelong implications. Playing contributes to essential skills such as problem solving, dealing with uncertainties and the unexpected, socializing and managing the rules of social coexistence and develops the creative thinking of children, young people and adults. For all these reasons, and because NICA-UAc is concerned with issues of childhood and its development, V CICA will seek to offer its participants diverse opportunities to discuss, analyse, debate, problematize and disseminate research and good practices, promoting of a better understanding and deepening of these issues, in a careful analysis of their specificities, in an attempt to offer participants an opportunity to better understand and apprehend them, and to envision their implications for the formation and action of individuals and current societies. The event will take place in a hybrid version (in person and online), for 4 days (two afternoons online and two mornings in person), and will feature the participation of regional experts (Dr. Ricardo Ávila from the Luís da Silva Ribeiro Library in Angra do Heroísmo; Dr. André Ruela, from Expolab - Lagoa), national (Doctor Carlos Neto, from FMH – University of Lisbon; Doctors Jorge Nuno Silva and Tiago Hirth, from the University of Lisbon and the Ludus Association, and foreigners (Doctor Andrés Payá, from the University of Valencia) who will seek, from different perspectives and from different scientific areas, to analyze the issues of play, understand their implications for the development of the youngest and advance pedagogical action strategies capable of establishing relevant connections in the educational field. two online roundtables will be held on topics of interest in the scope of play, on two evenings on thursdays 21st and 28th of october; and four workshops shops, preceded by small conferences that contextualize them, allowing a closer and more practical approach to the contexts of action and intervention of the participants, which will take place during two Saturday mornings, in a face-to-face format (two workshops each day). Given the scope of the subject, this event is aimed at a very wide audience, and may be of interest to professionals in the field of education, philosophy, psychologists, sociologists, linked to the monitoring of children with learning difficulties or development problems, professionals in the field of the arts, families with children and young people and the general public interested in issues related to education and learning in the broadest sense.
