With a workload of 30 hours, the course aims to train civil servers and public managers from the federal, state and municipal spheres, as well as professionals from civil society. The training is also open to people interested in critical understanding of systemic and institutional racism and the application of anti-racist practices in the daily life of the public sector.
The initiative is the result of a partnership among the MIR, through the Directorate for Evaluation, Monitoring and Information Management (Damgi) of the Secretariat for the Management of the National System for the Promotion of Racial Equality (Senapir), the MDHC, through the Special Advisory Office for Education and Culture in Human Rights, the Environment and Business (AEDH), and the National School of Public Administration (Enap), through the Virtual School of Government (EV.G).
Throughout the course, participants will have access to content ranging from the history of racism in Brazil to the analysis of data on racial inequalities in areas such as education, health and the job market. The course also proposes reflections on the role of the State in overcoming inequalities and offers tools for building public policies committed to racial justice.
In addition to the theoretical foundation, the training includes case studies and practical simulations that help in the adoption of anti-racist conduct in different institutional contexts.
