Volunteer Experience
Sociology teacher, School Educacao Jovens e Adultos, Araraquara, SP, Brazil, 07/01/15, 11/01/15, I volunteered as a sociology teacher in Brazil, the Brazilian government has a public education program aimed at the population over 15 years old who did not have access to or did not complete Basic Education. I volunteered once a week, teaching African and Indigenous Brazilian history and the experiences of the black and indigenous population, crucial to fostering cultural understanding, promoting inclusion and combating discrimination. I hope to have had the opportunity to help students develop a deeper understanding of indigenous and black people in Brazilian history, the resistance of the indigenous and black population, and the ongoing struggles for equality and social justice in Brazil.
