The Jornada Bett Nordeste 2026 event in Recife, Brazil, focused on the impact of technology and AI on education, with participants emphasizing the importance of human, social, and collective intelligence in transforming the education sector.
The Jornada Bett Nordeste 2026 event, held at the Recife Expo Center, brought together educators, policymakers, and industry experts to discuss the challenges and opportunities presented by new technologies in the education sector. The event, which ran from August 19 to 20, featured over 70 speakers, 50 exhibitors, and a range of discussions on the impact of technology and AI on education.
The event's theme, "Inteligências em Ação: Experiências que Transformam a Educação" (Intelligences in Action: Experiences that Transform Education), highlighted the importance of human, social, and collective intelligence in transforming the education sector. According to Adriana Martinelli, the director of Content at Bett Brasil, the concept of "intelligences" goes beyond AI and includes human, social, and collective intelligence.
