New Deadline Of 24th PortoCartoon World Festival 2022/ Portugal
 
NEW DEADLINE:MARCH 7,2022
 
General Rules and Regulations
1 Main Subject EDUCATION AND GENDER EQUALITY
Quality Education and Gender Equality are the UN bets to improve the world.
With these themes, corresponding to the 4th and 5th SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals), PortoCartoon calls once again the artists to two fundamental concerns for the future of humanity.
Education continues to be a factor in the expression of inequalities, with around 260 million children unable to attend school, especially in the southern hemisphere, especially in countries in central Asia and sub-Saharan Africa. This is a drama with great implications for the future of these countries. The UN goal is to access inclusive, quality and equitable education and to promote lifelong learning opportunities for all by 2030.
In terms of Gender Equality, the situation is more serious: 2.8 billion women and girls live in countries that do little to eliminate the discrimination they face.
This will be one of the most lagging global goals, relative to the international commitment (signed by world leaders in 2015) to ‘social development’ by 2030.
Education and Gender Equality converge in dramas and need answers on a global scale.
Humor can be a good contribution. And so the challenge is given to the sharpened pencils.
2 SPECIAL AWARDS FOR CARICATURE
GRETA THUNBERG (2003- ) became known worldwide, after going on strike in front of the Swedish parliament, in 2018, in defense of the climate. She was 15 years old and, with the plaque “School Strike for Climate”, promoted a campaign that had a global effect, inspiring thousands of young people around the world. In December 2018, more than 20,000 students – from the UK to Japan – joined her, going on strike at classes to protest the lack of environmental protection measures. A year later, Greta Thunberg receives the first of three Nobel Peace Prize nominations. She faces powerful leaders, make engaging speeches, unsettle the installed power. “Everything remains the same and everything is blah blah blah,” she said at COP26 (Glasgow, Nov. 2021).
GAGO COUTINHO (1869-1959) was a Portuguese Navy officer, geographer, historian, mathematician and aviation pioneer. In 1922, he carried out the first aerial crossing of the South Atlantic, connecting Lisbon to Rio de Janeiro, together with Sacadura Cabral. With this they earned them international notoriety. In addition to several cartographic works, he developed navigation devices, such as the sextant with an artificial horizon. Known as the “precision astrolabe”, the device was internationally registered as “System Admiral Gago Coutinho”. In 2022, the centenary of this Air Crossing joins the bicentennial of Brazil’s independence. Is there another better opportunity to choose this personality?
