In conjunction with
the Worldfund’s Education
Leadership Award Dinner, The Chamber and Worldfund are pleased to organize
a panel of educators and philanthropists who will discuss methods for improving
public education in Brazil. This year’s panel will debate recent innovations
that can improve the quality of public education while helping students develop
the skills needed to participate in an increasingly globalized economy.
 The panelists will
discuss recent innovative developments in both public policy and private public
partnerships (PPP’s). Public policy initiatives include efforts to combating
school evasion, improving instruction quality, expanding full time schools, and
instituting the National Core Curriculum. Simultaneously, PPP’s are helping to
revamp the infrastructure of public schools and providing teachers with quality
training that connects learning with the skills necessary for the jobs of the

dedicated to advancing the quality and relevance of Brazil’s public
education.

AFTERNOON PROGRAM WITH AUTHOR AND PUBLISHER BETI
ROZENCWAJG (SEM FRONTEIRAS PRESS)
July 12, 2018
Time: 4:00 PM to 5:30 PM
Location: Brazilian-American Chamber of Commerce, Inc., New York, New York  This hour and a half long afterschool workshop for
kids based on two children’s picture books, Stolen Spirit and Without
Words, which introduces a brief overview of Brazil’s early history while
encouraging young people to think about their Brazilian heritage through their
personal experiences as immigrants, or as the children of immigrants.
This workshop would present some general information about Brazil’s early
history through a brief discussion, but it will also be interactive.
Stolen Spirit, which takes place in 1500, focuses on
the arrival of the Portuguese from an Indian boy’s point of view.
We can bring objects such as a sample of brazilwood to talk about how Brazil
got its name and why the Portuguese were interested in this land. That would be
Part I of the workshop. We would base Part II of the workshop on our
book Without Words, which is about a Brazilian immigrant boy who uses his
talent for draw to adapt to life in the United States. We would encourage
kids or draw or to write about some personal experience they had with Brazil,
and then share that memory with everyone else if they are comfortable.
