The BHZ CONNECTION project’s main aim is to contribute to the educational development of young people and adolescents from low-income families by teaching languages including Portuguese and foreign languages (English, French, Spanish, etc…) as educational tools.
Using activities such as Drama, Capoeira Angola, art, educational games, reading, music and physical education the students learn other languages, thereby facilitating cultural exchange with volunteers from different countries.
ACCA aims to provide young people the experience with a cultural exchange between England and Brazil
ACCA offers cultural experiences to young people and includes learning activates, group work, sociability and social protection and which focuses on the establishment of one living space and working in participatory approach, the development of the autonomy of children and adolescents, from particular demands and potential presented by each.
We believe that if we provide a motivating environment, dynamic, cheerful, with meetings, studies, planning and reviews happening systematically, it is possible to guarantee children and adolescents’ rights to leisure and culture, contributing to the educational, emotional, professional and psychological development.
