Ambassadors in Brazil
Beatriz Montesanti
I am a student of journalism in São Paulo, Brazil, where I currently live with my family.
In my university, I am part of a student-led project that aims to teach the Portuguese language and communication skills to underprivileged communities. Furthermore, I have worked at an educational organization that seeks to engage parents in their children's learning process. Both activities have made me realized the importance of development and social change.
I have become an ambassador at the World Congress in order to carry on with this work of spreading information and consciousness about citizenry and human rights, and using different channels of communication to amplify the network reached by the social change.
Jacques Felipe Vieira
I am a student of the second year of Law in the University of the State of São Paulo (UNESP). I am an active member of the students’ movement in Brazil and, in consequence of that, I have been elected as the General Coordinator of the Law Academic Centre of UNESP, which is the legitimate body of representation of the Law students. I am also running elections to be the representative of UNESP in the National Union of Students (UNE). Furthermore, I am involved with social movements, as the Movement of the Landless Rural Workers and the Feminist Movement, and have participated on several forums (as ISFIT2013 and UNESP’s Student’s Congress) in the last year discussing Education, Social Movements, Economics and Politics.
I have been a volunteer English teacher for disadvantaged children on the Non-Governmental Organization “Brazilian Organization of Multidisciplinary Education”.
Now I write a project of law about access and financial support for disadvantaged students on public Universities in the State of São Paulo that will be sent to the Parliament. And also a project of law about social quotas in these Universities as an alternative to the one presented by São Paulo’s Governor.
