About the Event

With the aim of expanding scientific discussion across diverse countries, Veni Creator Christian University will host the Knowledge Conference in Preparation for the III International Conference on Innovation and Educational Networking (III CIVENI) on July 25 and 26. The event will take place virtually, in anticipation of the main conference scheduled for December 2025 in Celebration, Florida.

The Conference theme, “Knowledge in Motion: Innovation, Education, and the Transformation of Human Relations,” invites critical and transdisciplinary reflection on the challenges and opportunities that arise when different forms of knowledge, educational technologies, and contemporary social dynamics intersect.

In a world marked by profound transformations in the labor market, learning processes, and interpersonal relationships, there is an urgent need to rethink how we teach, care, coexist, and innovate. This perspective emphasizes multi-epistemic knowledge, dialogue across territories and practices, and the role of education as a driver in building a more just, collaborative society, sensitive to human and cultural diversity.

The event will open on July 25 at 7:00 PM (BRT), with welcome remarks by Dr. Acilina da Silva Candeia (CEO of VCCU), Dr. Marcela Tarciana Cunha, and Dr. Maria Emília Camargo.

The first keynote lecture, titled “Keynote Address – Entrepreneurial Human Resource Management for a Regenerative Future,” will be delivered by Assistant Professor Dr. Esra Sipahi Döngül, who holds a Ph.D. in Business Administration from Istanbul Gelisim University, specializing in Management and Organization.

On the following day, the Conference will begin at 8:00 AM with participant registration, followed by a lecture by Dr. Luís Felipe Dias Lopes on “The Future of Work and Innovation in Human Relations.”

At 9:30 AM, Dr. Margarete Luísa Arbugeri will present her talk: “Pluriepistemic Knowledge and Social Transformation: A Transdisciplinary Perspective.” At 10:30 AM, a panel discussion will be led by Dr. Renato Oliveira, Dr. Vivianne de Sousa, Ms. Ana Beatriz Silva, MSc. José Carlos Ribeiro, and MSc. Thayonara Marina da Silva.

After a lunch break, at 1:30 PM, the second day will feature presentations of academic papers.

At 4:00 PM, Dr. Dionei de Souza Lessa will deliver a lecture on “The Impact of Using Video Lessons Based on Multimedia Learning Theory in Teaching Higher Education Students.”
