The Graduate Program (PPG) in Education completed 50 years in 2022 and, during this journey, it strengthened several qualified academic interactions with partner institutions in Brazil as well as abroad. In addition to important agreements with partner universities, the program encourages mobility initiatives for students and professors for the development and internationalization of science and the production of knowledge in the Education field. Within these actions, the PhD student Bruna Detoni went to France and to Belgium to develop researches on the importance of the qualification of nursery teachers on the development and understanding of babies.
The student works as a clinical psychologist and is a part of the Center for Study and Research on Childhood(s) and Children Education (NEPIEI), the Psychology and Education Research Group and the Childhood Laboratory (LabInf) from PUCRS, connected to the PPG in Education, advised by researcher and professor from the School of Humanities Andreia Mendes. During her time abroad, the PhD student went to Paris and to Brussels to take the course titled Updates on working with babies: a European experience, offered by psychoanalyst Erika Parlato Oliveira through the Instituto Langage.
