<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe WEIWER\u00ae logo tries to convey the key features of the network, collaboration and partnership; the two languages aim at both our national and international scope and focus (Portugal, Portuguese speaking countries, and the other countries of the world).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Goals:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Wikis and Wikipedia as a pedagogical strategy, in different levels of education and training contexts, have been increasing in the world, and thus considered as an object of study. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The WEIWER\u00ae International Academic Network developed a research agenda to analyse those phenomena, a way to meet e.g. the Portuguese national strategy for digital skills, which is being implemented through the program Portugal INCoDe.2030 (www.incode2030.gov.pt<\/a>) by the Portuguese government. Internationally, we expect to be contributing to the United Nations\u2019 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (www.un.org\/sustainabledevelopment<\/a>), through its Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), namely SDG 4, on \u201cQuality Education\u201d, to ensure access to inclusive, quality and equitable education, and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all. <\/p>\n\n\n\n By promoting and creating conditions to implement this SDG 4, we will surely be promoting other SDGs, of which we highlight the following: 5th \u201cGender Equality\u201d; 8th \u201cDecent work and economic growth\u201d; 10th \u201cReduced inequalities\u201d; 17th \u201cPartnerships for the goals\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The integration of these SDGs reflects commitments to ethics, global citizenship and natural and cultural diversity, also present in the mission of Wikipedia, which we assume in a sustainable development reasoning, both for people and institutions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n We understand the WEIWER\u00ae Network as the result of partnerships between different institutions, especially from the field of education and training, whose work is based on the principles, programs and initiatives that we have been mentioning, ultimately aiming to develop, throughout life, key competences for the 21st century citizen, essential in different curricular areas and scientific domains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Scientific Director<\/strong>: Teresa Margarida Loureiro Cardoso WEIWE(R)BE\n
