It happened last Saturday in the incredible space NAVE the first edition of the event Descolagem, which was very well organized by Bob Largman and Lia Amancio, and should happen every two weeks.

The theme of this first Descolagem was “digital culture and the impact of technology”, and among the speakers / participants were Lucius Abbondati, entrepreneurs Fabio Seixas and Marco Gomes and Ronaldo Lemos of FGV-RJ and iCommons, plus a very special participation in Video of the genial professor Silvio Meira of CESAR (Center for Advanced Studies and Systems of Recife), which then interacted with these via Skype.

The Descolagem was moderated by my friends Bob Largman and Cris Dias. In addition to all that were in NAVE, the event was also accompanied by people from all over Brazil through a video transmission. The Wi-Fi connection was excellent, allowing the audience covering the event live, writing in their blogs or twitter, and putting the photos on Flickr.

The NAVE is a project of the Institute Hi Future, and is composed of the State College Jose Leite Lopes, the factory of Digital Culture (centre-research) and the power of Expression (space for exhibitions and seminars).
The place is striking, and deserves our applause for offering prospects for those who most need. These are projects like this that give new hope for the future of education in our country, whose biggest problem is lack of information and preparation for the labour market. Apart from revolutionary to attend this event, even had the pleasure to host my friend Lucia Freitas of Brazil Ladybug, who came from Sao Paulo to participate in only Descolagem. At the end of the event, there was a protest against the law of cybercrimes, which might end up with the freedom of the Internet in Brazil, but this already subject to another post.
