After those visits, the students will go to Anhembi Park to attend the event.

The programme´s launch was very laid-back, with the spokespeople breaking the formal protocol and waving to students and directors of the schools. “We are sure that this experience will be very enriching and the interaction will be great, especially because the schools had the opportunity to choose the Delegations they wanted to receive,” said Fatima Antonio - Secretary of Education of the City of São Paulo.
