Cine CGEE concludes its participation in the 22nd SNCT with over 3,000 visitors.

Public participation reinforces the importance of the project in combating misinformation and spreading scientific knowledge at all stages of life.

The Center for Management and Strategic Studies (CGEE) successfully concluded the activities of Cine CGEE during the 22nd National Science and Technology Week (SNCT), held from October 21 to 26, at the Esplanade of Ministries in Brasília (DF). Throughout the six days of programming, the space received 3,129 visitors in 146 screening sessions.

In this edition, the highlight of Cine CGEE was the premiere of the animated film "Looking to the Future III," an original production that addresses themes such as climate change, ocean culture, misinformation, and media literacy. The story features young Sol, the robot CGEE+, and the fish Beto on a playful and educational journey about the transformative power of scientific knowledge and reliable information.

The CEO of CGEE, Fernando Rizzo, reinforced the Center's presence at SNCT and expressed gratitude for the opportunity this edition provides for the dissemination of science, especially ocean knowledge. “It’s wonderful to participate in this event focused on the ocean. With “Looking to the Future III,” we brought this focus, always listening to the issue of sustainable development and paying special attention to the issue of misinformation. CGEE has traditionally been a part of this event,” he said.

The project exemplifies the Center's commitment to popularizing science through initiatives that combine entertainment, learning, and reflection. The success of the sessions demonstrates the growing public interest in productions that present scientific and technological topics in an accessible way, especially among students, teachers, and families who visited the space.

By highlighting the impacts of misinformation related to climate change, the speech by the director of CGEE, Caetano Penna, reaffirms this edition of Cine CGEE's commitment to media literacy. “The third part of the 'Looking to the Future' trilogy shows how CGEE works to bring verifiable, science-based facts. The Center comes to SNCT to bring scientific knowledge closer to the general public, but especially to children and adolescents, inspiring the new generation to engage with scientific knowledge and to understand how science positively impacts their lives,” he explained.

With the theme "Planet Water: ocean culture to face climate change in my territory," the SNCT 2025 was coordinated by the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MCTI) and mobilized institutions from all over the country to promote dialogue between science and society.

For another year, Cine CGEE has established itself as an environment for scientific and media education, contributing to the development of scientific citizenship and strengthening confidence in science as the basis for a sustainable future.

For those who were unable to attend the screenings during SNCT, the film "Looking to the Future III" will soon be available on the CGEE YouTube channel .
