With an innovative presentation format, Bett Talks allows educators, administrators, and education professionals to share their ideas and life experiences with the goal of inspiring, challenging, and connecting directly with the Bett Brasil audience, creating a unique opportunity for reflection and peer-to-peer learning. 

“Participating in Bett Talks 2024 was a unique experience,” says teacher Natália Menini. “I had the opportunity to share my experiences and what I believe in—an education rooted in affection, not just the affection of warmth and love, but the verb ‘to affect,’ creating deeper, more empathetic, and more inclusive connections. At Bett Brasil, I saw that there were other educators who shared the same goal of transforming education.”

Professor Maurício Souza Neto also highlighted his experience at the last edition of Bett Talks. “I shared my story with more than 400 people. Stories are unique experiences—created and lived by one person—but they actually resonate with many others. Bett Brasil understood the power of connection that arises when a story is shared among peers,” he summarizes.

Selection Process and Registration

In 2025, Bett Talks will be divided into three categories:

• Bett Talks ‘Ahead’: focused on stories in higher and/or vocational education, with an emphasis on new trends and frontiers in education (open to professionals in higher and vocational education);
• Bett Talks “Managers’ Forum”: featuring testimonials from school leaders, focusing on effective practices and transformative experiences in educational management (open to basic education administrators);
• Bett Talks “Stories That Inspire”: moving accounts of how education can change lives, featuring stories of personal impact (open to all education professionals).

Applications will go through several selection stages, including a review of the responses and an online meeting with the shortlisted candidates on November 28. The selected candidates will be announced by December 6 and will have the opportunity to perform on stage at the 30th edition of Bett Brasil.

In total, 24 participants will be selected: four for the “Ahead” category, four for the “Managers’ Forum,” and 16 for “Inspiring Stories.”
