Exchange for Teachers and Students from Public Institutions

The Caminhos Amefricanos Program aims to select self-declared Black, Brown, or Quilombola teachers and students from Brazilian public institutions for a unique international experience.

As announced by the Ministry of Racial Equality (MIR) and CAPES, the goal is to promote education on ethnic-racial relations and combat racism through 15-day exchanges in three extraordinary destinations: Peru, Angola, and the Dominican Republic.

The program seeks to strengthen the ties between Brazil and Latin American and African countries through training activities, visits to historical sites, schools, and museums.

The Opportunity for International Exchange in 2024

With the Joint Announcement No. 4/2024, CAPES is offering 50 spots for teachers from Brazilian public educational institutions who work in ethnic-racial relations education, and 50 spots for students enrolled from the 5th semester of degree courses.

The selected candidates will have the chance to study and engage in practical activities in Peru, Angola, or the Dominican Republic, establishing an important connection with the learning of other cultural and educational realities.

Visits, Academic Exchange, and Local Culture

The exchange will be enriched with training activities and visits to historical and cultural sites in the three locations covered by the program:

Peru: Participation in academic activities with the Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos, as well as visits to schools, museums, and historical sites in Lima.
Angola and the Dominican Republic: Short-term studies and participation in scientific events, with visits to schools, historical sites, and museums in their respective capitals.

Criteria and Who Can Apply

To apply, candidates must meet the following criteria:

Be a native or naturalized Brazilian, or a foreigner with a National Migratory Registration Card (CRNM) and permanent residency authorization in Brazil.
Teachers: Must be effective in basic education for at least one year and work with the theme of ethnic-racial relations.
Students: Must be enrolled from the 5th semester of degree courses in public higher education institutions.
Self-declaration: Candidates must self-declare as Black, Brown, or Quilombola and must not have received similar scholarships or benefits in the last two years.

Selection Process

The selection process for the program will be conducted in four stages:

Technical Analysis: Verification of the correct completion of the form and documentation.
Preliminary Result: Candidates who score 50 points or higher are considered eligible for the next phase.
Hetero-identification Commission: Evaluation of candidates’ racial self-declaration.
Final Decision: Final selection of beneficiaries, ensuring gender parity.

The results will be published in the Official Gazette of the Union and on the CAPES website, according to the progress of each stage.

Ola; saudações á todos.
Programa maravilhoso.
Para professores negros e nordestino como eu aqui do interior baixadeiro do Maranhão é uma oportunidade única e acredito ser de suma importância participar destas formações visto que o nosso acesso a informações físicas (em livros ) sobre estes países dentro desta temática é tão dificil.

The Opportunity for International Exchange in 2024

How to Apply and What Is Included

The Soviet Union spent 22 years drilling into the Earth’s crust and reached a depth of 12,262 meters — they found water where it was thought impossible, hydrogen bubbling from the rock, granite that is 2.7 billion years old, and temperatures of 180 degrees that melted the drill bits.

Egypt wants to draw 10 million cubic meters of water from the Nile per day into the desert, irrigate a new agricultural frontier, and build a city where there is currently only sand.

Norway is drilling 27 kilometers of rock 392 meters below the bottom of a fjord to build the world’s largest and deepest underwater road tunnel — when completed, a 21-hour journey will be reduced to 10.

Chinese engineers begin filling a 217-meter dam at an altitude of 3,000 meters and prepare a 2,240 MW hydroelectric power plant to integrate hydropower, solar, and wind energy in the upper Jinsha.

A German architect built a cylindrical house in 1994 that rotates to follow the sun throughout the day, generates 5 times more energy than it consumes, and was the world’s first energy-positive house.

An astronaut spent 340 days in space while his twin brother stayed on Earth, and NASA found a “rejuvenating” effect, genes, microbiome, cognition, and immune system that revealed the biological cost of living outside the planet.

From Mockery to Mass Exodus of Brazilians: Why More Than 263 Thousand Left Brazil to Live in Paraguay in Search of Lower Taxes and a Cheaper Life

A single solar storm can knock out satellites, wipe out GPS, and leave 40 million people without power for months — and the transformers that protect the grid take 4 years to manufacture.

Sydney is erecting the world’s tallest wooden skyscraper — it’s 40 stories of hybrid timber that sequester carbon instead of emitting it, and the tower is expected to be completed as early as 2026.

While sanitation in Brazil serves only 55% of the population and discharges sewage into rivers, Singapore already recycles 100% of the water it consumes and has transformed sewage into award-winning potable water.
