Since our focus is Brazil, we have the ability to offer interdisciplinary, complex programs all over our immense country.
From agriculture to sustainability to business, we pride ourselves on offering inventive, personalized, constructive itineraries that go beyond teaching to recognize stereotypes, understand cultural subtleties, and realize the full potential of Brazil.
- Brazil is home to some of the world’s largest agriculture companies, both Brazilian and multi-national, as well as a growing organic industry; and we have opened the doors to many for our programs.
Discover the interactions within the AG industry we helped plan, schedule and facilitate
- As an emerging market, Brazil stages some of the largest infrastructure and engineering projects in the world. From hydroelectric dams to interstate highways to airports, metros and ports, we introduce our groups to the leaders bringing Brazil into the 21st century.
Discover the interactions we have helped facilitate within the construction/engineering industries
- There is no better reason to visit Brazil than for the country’s incredible biodiversity. Today the nation’s remaining wild places can thank a handful of people for their survival, and we introduce our groups to these instrumental figures: Claudio and Suzanne Padua from IPÊ, Temar Project, Fazenda Ambiental and many others.
Discover more about these interactions and the projects we are actively apart of in hopes to foster greater environmental good
- Sustainability in Brazil is not a 21st century idea, Brazilians as apart of the developing world, have long lived and practiced sustainability - from reusing resources to conserving electricity to actively recycling. All these efforts, along with a large amount of alternative energy - i.e. hydropower, have made Brazil one of the largest 'green' countries in the world.
We are opening up discovery opportunities for visiting students. Along with our friends and partners within the sustainable movement, we are creating interactions to promote the sharing of sustainability perspectives in order to spread innovative ideas from/to Brazil
- Brazil possesses arguably the most complex and rich cultures in the world. From music, literature and art, to gastronomy, martial arts, sports and dance – Brazil presents students with limitless opportunities to explore a world of diverse colors, flavors and people. We collaborate with Favela Xperience, Olodum and many other organizations to give our groups the most accurate and complete image of Brazil.

- Politics in Brazil is anything from perfect. From a history of dictatorships, today Brazilians are fighting hard to push one of the world’s newest democracies to new heights. We have introduced groups to figures from the mayor of Sao Paulo to the Environmental Secretary of Curitiba.

- Economics, the financial sector and Brazil are like three squabbling siblings - never satisfied with the other. However, some of the largest financial organizations in the world have emerged from the chaos and we have introduced students to many of them.
Discover which financial institutions have interacted with our programs
- Today over 60% of Brazilians are employed by small or medium sized companies, a testament to the innovation and effort of thousands of entrepreneurs. We are proud to be a force for collaboration among our university partners and these Brazilian start-ups.
