Legacy
One of the major projects was #Inovareaprender, whose concept of technological education with a proposal for pedagogical innovation allowed participants to use technology to solve problems in an innovative and playful way.
The donation of a 3D printer and a laser cutter to the Project’s Management and Research Center, in the space of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ) – Macaé Campus, enabled students to advance in new solutions. The #Inovareaprender had the support of Ocyan from 2014 to 2018.
“What we hope and propose in all actions of ‘Escola em Ação’ is to maintain a relationship between school, community, and company, support youth entrepreneurship, and raise intellectual capital in the region,” emphasizes Jocelina. Our expectation is also to promote better opportunities and living conditions for children and young people from surrounding communities and to build sustainable citizenship, uniting aspects of Social Responsibility and Sustainability,” she concludes.
