IBGE 90 Dialogues
Launched in August 2023, the Project "IBGE 90 Dialogues" has the objective of celebrating the almost nine decades of existence of the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE), besides thinking of guidelines for a new IBGE. In 2024, the presidency of the Institute will proceed with the project, with a focus on the participation of society, together with the public sphere (Brazil, states, and municipalities), legislators, professional entities and collective representatives, students, among others.
At first carried out by servants, collaborators, retired persons, and union members, the IBGE 90 Dialogues counted, in its first step, on the contributions from more than 10 thousand participants in the thematic groups and subgroup, who had taken part in 50 face-to-face and online meetings. That led to the elaboration of the IBGE directives, which are the summary of hundreds of proposals at first detailed in more than two thousand pages. All this material was produced on November 16 and 17, in Parada de Lucas, in Rio de Janeiro.
