    Title: Conscious Discipline at ITA: A Culture that Shapes
    Speakers: Prof. Carmen Belderrain and Prof. Iris de Oliveira Zeli (Working Group on Conscious Discipline, ITA)
    Abstract:
    This presentation proposes a reflection on Conscious Discipline (CD) as an essential part of ITA’s educational model, adopted since 1955. CD is a culture based on mutual trust, responsibility, integrity, and commitment to the collective. The talk revisits the historical foundations of Conscious Discipline, presenting practical examples and highlighting its continuity and relevance in the 21st century, reinforcing its role in the comprehensive development of individuals — technically, ethically, and humanly. Perceptions from the academic community and initiatives aimed at strengthening this culture in the daily life of the institution will also be shared. The goal is to broaden the shared understanding of Conscious Discipline and encourage its conscious, active, and continuous practice at ITA.
