Description:
Created in 1997 as an office of websites made by
students of public and private schools for
social institutes, it started to develop itself
organically through the neighborhood of Vila
Madalena, in São Paulo until it became a School
City, uniting spaces where young people from the
neighborhood can develop their various talents.
It defines itself as a laboratory of community
pedagogy that creates a unique living and
learning experience – squares, museums, artist’s
studios, shops, bookstores, offices, alleys and
cafes have turned themselves into learning
communities. The NGO offers educators and public
managers training courses in partnership with
local and federal government. The most important
results have taken place in Belo Horizonte
(Minas Gerais state) and in Nova Iguaçu (Rio de
Janeiro state), where either full time education
or school-neighborhood have become governmental
projects.
