00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.360
Pequena Tribo is a project conceived by Professor Jonas,

00:00:03.360 --> 00:00:05.080
entirely funded by the Institute.

00:00:05.080 --> 00:00:07.040
The project began in Florianópolis, in 2020.

00:00:07.040 --> 00:00:09.920
In 2022 we decided to bring it closer to the Institute —

00:00:09.920 --> 00:00:11.240
it made more sense for it to be here.

00:00:11.240 --> 00:00:13.000
The project runs outside school hours.

00:00:13.000 --> 00:00:15.760
The idea is that the children are looked after all day long:

00:00:15.760 --> 00:00:17.400
when they are not at Pequena Tribo

00:00:17.400 --> 00:00:18.920
they are at school, and vice versa.

00:00:18.920 --> 00:00:20.959
We work with children aged 6 to 10,

00:00:20.959 --> 00:00:23.200
children in a situation of social vulnerability.

00:00:23.200 --> 00:00:25.000
We serve two communities in Petrópolis:

00:00:25.000 --> 00:00:26.120
one close to the Institute

00:00:26.120 --> 00:00:27.520
and another community in Petrópolis.

00:00:27.520 --> 00:00:29.100
In the second half of the year

00:00:29.100 --> 00:00:30.760
we expect to start in one more community.

00:00:30.760 --> 00:00:32.000
So we will be in three places,

00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:34.439
so that we can reach that figure of 200 children.

00:00:34.439 --> 00:00:35.700
Because the Professor's idea

00:00:35.700 --> 00:00:37.040
is that this project should be replicable,

00:00:37.040 --> 00:00:39.560
that we should be able to expand it throughout Brazil.

00:00:39.560 --> 00:00:41.639
So the idea was to bring it to Petrópolis

00:00:41.639 --> 00:00:43.520
so that we could build a replicable model,

00:00:43.520 --> 00:00:45.040
design the educational workshops,

00:00:45.040 --> 00:00:46.560
put those workshops into practice,

00:00:46.560 --> 00:00:48.599
and have a project that is financially sound —

00:00:48.599 --> 00:00:51.599
a cost per child that is financially sound.

00:00:51.599 --> 00:00:54.040
And over these four years that we have been in Petrópolis,

00:00:54.040 --> 00:00:55.200
that is what we have been developing.

00:00:55.240 --> 00:00:58.639
Today we have a structure that is far more ready

00:00:58.639 --> 00:00:59.639
in every respect.

00:00:59.639 --> 00:01:01.599
We have already run a great many workshops,

00:01:01.599 --> 00:01:04.320
the educational workshops have been created and tested,

00:01:04.320 --> 00:01:06.639
and the model is ready to be replicated as well,

00:01:06.639 --> 00:01:08.680
which is the next step over the coming years.

00:01:08.680 --> 00:01:10.120
That is what we believe will happen.

00:01:10.120 --> 00:01:11.800
That we manage to take Pequena Tribo

00:01:11.800 --> 00:01:13.800
to other places, to more children.

00:01:13.800 --> 00:01:14.800
That is the idea.
