Sinal das crianças is a program ran inside Sinal do Vale, which is a learning community based in an ecological site a few miles from the capital of Rio.
There they have a recovered rainforest land and practice permaculture inside the area where a few events and workshops happen during the year to teach sustainability and they also work directly with kids and teens (high school and middle school) from the district.

“Colegio Viver” is a private school founded 30 years ago hosting 150 students (middle class) from 1,5 to 14 years old. Each grade has one class And every year they are going to reach another grade.

The school tries to use other ways of education to give all the pupils the opportunity of education.  

Moleque de Idéias is a learning space, where children can come to create their own projects. It is not a school, in fact it is a IT company. It is a place where children from the age of four years can participate.

In 1996 Moleque de Idéias was founded by Leila Miranda, Luís Eugênio Pacheco and Nilton Lessa. The interest is to do software engineering with taste, science and art.
