The seminar focused, in the morning session, on creating illustration proposals for Portuguese Social & Environmental Studies textbooks for the 1st year (from 1999 to 2019). These proposals were developed by selecting textbook pages where identity issues were represented, retaining the text (statements and/or captions) and the page structure, but removing the illustrations that complement the text.

This practical workshop/seminar led, in the afternoon session, to a discussion around the questions and concerns regarding the theme of [anti]identity discrimination, which was analysed based on the illustration proposals and the participants' exchanges.
