Primeiro Anúncio da 5º Conferência Internacional em Etnomatemática...
First Announcement
5th International Conference
on Ethnomathematics (ICEM-5)
The Fifth International Conference on
Ethnomathematics will be held in Chidenguele (Gaza Province, Mozambique), July
7–11, 2014. Ethnomathematics studies the mathematical ideas of cultural groups
and the many interactions between mathematics, education and cultures.
The previous four ICEMs were in Spain,
Brazil, New Zealand, and the USA. And now it comes to the African continent
(but, of course, world-wide ethnomathematicians are all encouraged to come!)
Sunday July 6, 2014, will be reserved
for the transport of the participants from Mozambique’s capital to Chidenguele,
situated in a beautiful coastal region with lakes and dunes, 250 km northeast
of Maputo. On Saturday morning (July 12), the participants will return to
Maputo, where they can take part in a festival of Mozambican intellectual games
in the afternoon. Participants can return to their home countries on Saturday
night or Sunday, or later, if they want to stay in Mozambique for holidays.
The scientific activities of the
conference will consist of plenary lectures, presentations, round tables /
panels, workshops, poster sessions, and also of visits to schools in the Gaza
Province. Participants are invited to propose topics or activities, including
activities they will like to realise in the schools to be visited.
Accommodation will be offered in lodges
around the lakes and beach of Chidenguele.
A web site for the conference will be
created.
ICEM-5 will be jointly hosted and
organised by the International Study Group on Ethnomathematics (ISGEm), the
Southern African Study Group on Ethnomathematics (SASGEm) and the Mozambican
Study Group on Ethnomathematics (MOSGEm).
Expecting to meet you in Mozambique for
this great event,
Sincerely yours,
