Introduction
"THE BEGINNING OF THINGS"
The Project takes place at Fazenda Vassoural in Itu/SP, a location with over 220 years of history, 15 acres with buildings from the 18th and 19th centuries, natural scenic beauties, and all the necessary structure for the comfort and safety of the students and quality in the execution of the project.
"The Beginning of Things" is developed through dynamics, experiences, and provocations and aims to make students aware and understand how their choices interfere with the environment.
The project is developed in six stages. All applied in a hands-on manner, working on autonomy, decision-making, and critical thinking.
1st stage - The Time Capsule - Students will reflect on their daily attitudes regarding the environment.
2nd stage - The Movie - At this moment, students will watch a film produced exclusively for the project. The initial scenes show cavemen living in harmony with the environment, followed by scenes of destruction and transformations caused by humans, and finally, a great challenge for the students: How can we reverse this situation? From there, the students will be part of this plot!
3rd stage - The Search for Answers - Here, students participate in the great adventure presented in the film - cooperatively, they will have to discover the secret hidden in a chest on the farm and, using a map, find valuable items for humanity. In this search, students will also have to face the villains from the movie.
4th stage - The Workshop - Using wood and sustainable carpentry techniques, students will participate in the production of an item present in their homes to understand the industrial processes that use natural resources in production.
5th stage - The Great Game - Simulating real events, students will experience common themes in the relationships between explored countries and explorers. Here, the character "Uncle Sam" sets the rules. There are moments of negotiations, buying and selling of natural resources and technology. A dilemma that depends on the decisions and strategies of each team.
6a stage - The Individual Perspective - How does each student see a possible change regarding consumption? We will retrieve the time capsule, and students will understand that this is possible and depends on their attitudes! This will be the great secret unveiled by them during the experiences lived throughout the day.

Important Notes
✅ MANDATORY DOCUMENTATION
According to Federal Law, it is MANDATORY for the student to have their:
- ORIGINAL ID CARD OR ORIGINAL DRIVER'S LICENSE OR ORIGINAL BIRTH CERTIFICATE accompanied by another identification with name and photo (e.g., School ID) OR ORIGINAL PASSPORT. Authenticated copies are NOT accepted by law.
*Digital documents are also accepted, but there is a risk of the phone running out of battery or having issues, making access impossible.
** We remind you that we cannot delay departure, and without the student's ORIGINAL identity document, boarding will not be possible. **
✅MEDICATIONS AND HEALTH
- We request that medications be sent in a toiletry bag, properly labelled with the student's name, accompanied by usage instructions.
- Remember to register all continuous-use medications on the medical form and reinforce with your children that they should not offer medication to their peers.
- Any discomfort should be reported to the responsible guide.
- Those with Health Insurance must bring their insurance card.
We cannot medicate students; if they need to bring any medication, we advise that it be handed to the trip guide with instructions and prescription. *ATTENTION to the complete filling out of the Medical Form.
✅UNIFORM AND CLOTHING
- Wearing the uniform is mandatory throughout the trip, as it facilitates the identification of students. Remember to also send a complete change of clothes for any eventual needs.
- We suggest that students wear comfortable clothes, trainers or closed shoes, and bring a jacket, insect repellent, sunscreen, and a cap.
- Bring swimwear (swim trunks, bikini, or swimsuit), a pool towel, and flip-flops.
