The “Friends of Brazil” competition has been launched to reward students in Portuguese schools. Organized by the Consulate General of Brazil in Lisbon, the initiative aims to foster integration within the school environment. Groups of two to five students from across the country can participate, provided each group includes at least two different nationalities. The competition, which features cash prizes for students and trips to Brazil for teachers with the highest number of registered groups, focuses on themes of interculturality, friendship between Brazil and Portugal, and combating xenophobia. The deadline for submissions is April 30th.
