In a fruitful partnership, the COMITÊ NACIONAL DO CERIMONIAL PÚBLICO - CNCP, organisation with gathers, in our country, all professionals of this field, takes part in organizing such a great event as well as hosting its traditional congress, in its 15th edition.
Under the theme flag " "CEREMONIAL AND PROTOCOL- PILLARS OF UNIVERSAL HARMONY", in the three days when the meetings are held, specialists from Brazil and abroad will be gathered, taking part in profitable sharing of experiences, which will turn out to strengthen ties of friendship and companionship, so dear to ceremonialists, meaning incalculable advantages to the achievements of their goals.
The activity programme, thoughtfully planned, blending idealism and boldness, includes items which are already considered classic, as well as experimentation of new ways of expression, as far as specific contents go, both in national and international levels.
We would particularly like to call your attention to the trilogy: "Cordiality, Solidarity and Hospitality", not only as inner parts of ceremonial, but also as indispensable basis for a perfect agreement among civilized human beings, which is crucial to the relations among nations.
Considered of indisputable relevance, therefore present in the vast hall of topics to be explored, are the 200th anniversary of the Portuguese Royal Family arrival in Brazil, as well as the 100th anniversary of Japanese Immigration, both in full celebration spurt. In a similar way, it is to be mentioned Brazil's recurrent discussed miscegenation, by which brothers from so many different countries contribute to the foundation of what is now known as Brazilian culture.
It has also been arranged, due to numerous requests, the "Breakfast with specialists", the "Technical Assistence" system and the "Scientific Papers Presentation" in communication form.
Therefore, OICP and CNCP hold hands together to welcome colleagues all over the world, irrespective of race, colour or belief, motivated to provide you all with moments of full satisfaction, from not only technical and scientific content, but also in affective and emotional matters.
In our relentless search for answers buried deep in the core of human relations, each and everyone of us, moved by nothing but the feeling of companionship, well be together in a wide and grateful hug.
