Escola De Pais Do Brasil

What Escola De Pais Do Brasil does

Escola de Pais do Brasil (EPB) is a Brazilian non-profit, volunteer-driven organisation founded in 1963 and headquartered in São Paulo, with a stated mission to help parents, future parents, and educators form responsible citizens. EPB operates an educational platform spanning the full family life-cycle — from infancy through adolescence to healthy aging — delivered through annual National Congresses (the 60th in 2024, 61st in 2025, and a scheduled 62nd in 2026), regional seminars, in-person and Zoom-based courses, live-streamed webinars on YouTube, specialist lectures, and discussion circles. Its content addresses parenting phases, digital ecosystems, mental health, family-school relationships, and (most recently) the impact of artificial intelligence on children, with publications issued as downloadable digital magazines from each congress.

EPB reaches Brazilian families through a distributed network of more than 50 volunteer-led seccionais (chapters) spanning 11 states (São Paulo, Minas Gerais, Paraná, Santa Catarina, Rio Grande do Sul, Bahia, Goiás, Mato Grosso do Sul, Pernambuco, Paraíba, and Alagoas), supplemented by a central YouTube channel, Sympla-powered event registration, and website content. The portfolio also includes online self-assessment tools (Parental Style Test, Multiple Intelligences Test, Internet Dependence Test), annual Social Impact Reports aligned with the UN 2030 Agenda, and a branded merchandise store. Strategic partnerships — notably with Núcleo de Observação e Análise Digital (NOAD) linked to the São Paulo State Security Secretariat — support content credibility in cyber-crime and digital-protection topics.

Commercially, EPB is a freemium nonprofit: most events, courses, webinars, and congress content are offered free of charge, with revenue drawn from voluntary donations, optional paid in-person congress experiences, and 40-hour certificate tracks. The organisation employs roughly 10 staff and is led by a presidential couple (Iracema Lourdes Simioni Wobeto and José Alberto Wobeto) as co-presidents of the National Executive Board, with cumulative reach reported at over 1.3 million children and families benefited since founding.
