The 1st CLLIMAZ aims to bring together basic and higher education teachers, primarily from the (Pan)Amazon region, Brazil, and other borders, to discuss the teaching of language(s) and literatures as actions of human appreciation of individuals and their spatialities.

CLLIMAZ aims to establish itself as a permanent event seeking to systematize a training that promotes the political and constant dialogue of university cultural and intellectual production with basic education and society, distinguishing itself by the effective commitment of basic and higher education to climate causes in defense of the Pan-Amazon and the world.

The 2nd LetrasVivaz - Meeting of Alumni from the Professional Master's Program in Letters at UFPA, in its second edition, will take place concurrently with the 1st CLLIMAZ.
