During the three-day event, participants debated the current and future challenges regarding themes such as inequality, poverty, educational deficit, and public safety, as well as shared their own global experiences that might inspire solutions for Brazil and other emerging economies.

Among the highlights, it was detailed how the Foundation has been partnering with public sector entities and private stakeholders to mitigate the lack of access to education, promote inclusive innovation and technology in both basic and continued education for teachers, and develop social urbanism programs in vulnerable territories.

The honorable council advisors included:

• Dr. Josep Miquel Piqué, President of the International Association of Science Parks and Areas of Innovation (IASP), a global reference in innovation ecosystems;
• Aicha Bah Diallo, consultant for educational projects in Africa and Europe and member of global councils linked to UNESCO;
• Dr. Qian Tang, former Assistant Director-General for Education at UNESCO, with extensive experience in public policy and educational development;
• Dr. Antonio Carlos Amaral, Ph.D. and Master in Law (USP), LL.M. (Harvard), Visiting Scholar (Columbia), Law Professor at Mackenzie University, and corporate lawyer.

The council also underlined the importance of coordinated strategies and actions between organizations and community agents to ensure sustainable outcomes, and highlighted the relevance of expanding global alliances and strengthening cooperation networks.

According to Marco Jerez Telles, Founder and CEO of the Tellescom Group, “indifference in the face of inequality is Brazil’s greatest challenge.” That is why the Group, together with the Tellescom Foundation, led by Américo Mattar, its President, works to transform lives through quality education, dignified housing and socioeconomic development.

The event solidified the Tellescom Foundation’s commitment to developing long-term projects that could serve as references for others in Brazil and abroad, with a focus on community participation and innovation as drivers of social change.

The event brought together global business leaders, policymakers, social activists, academics and thinkers from various fields. All driven by the same goal: to debate values and solutions to global challenges such as the Ecological Transition, Evolutionary Education, Inclusive Leadership, Digital Ethics and Artificial Intelligence. These are topics that directly relate to the work of the Tellescom Foundation and reflect our commitment to crucial issues such as Education and Social Urbanism. So supporting Values Move and taking part in this major event was really an important step in broadening our horizons and the scope of our actions.

In the field of education, discussions focused on areas such as Artificial Intelligence, Technoethics and Regenerative Education. This has brought valuable contributions to one of the main pillars of our work: the continuing education of public school teachers and their training in the use of innovative technologies. Recent data from the National Institute for Educational Studies and Research (Inep) show that only 50% of educators in Brazil had access to regular training programs in 2023.

Our commitment is to promote initiatives that can reverse this situation, seeking at the same time to improve the quality of teaching and prepare teachers for the challenges of a constantly evolving world.

In the context of Social Urbanism, the discussions provided a broader view of the social transformations underway. It is worth remembering that in a country where around 8% of the population lives in slums, the search for solutions that integrate urban infrastructure, the strengthening of social ties and decent housing is more than imperative. In this sense, the meeting provided us with important insights that will certainly contribute to our projects for sustainable and inclusive urban transformation in the most vulnerable areas.

More than an event, the V20 Summit Brazil 2024 was a real milestone. A space to reflect, learn and, above all, act.

A unique opportunity to reinforce the Tellescom Foundation’s position as a relevant actor in the production of knowledge, helping to broaden social awareness, strengthen citizen participation and formulate fairer and more inclusive policies.

That’s our purpose and the legacy we want to leave.
