‘We are organising a new program to teach Portuguese and Brazilian culture to students of all age ranges, but mainly for children of Brazilians living abroad. The lessons are free but we need to develop our teaching staff with volunteers’, says the coordinator of the project Andre Stefano Debiagi.

I read this comment on the site of the Real Magazine (which by the way is excellent) and I was immediately excited about it! My two kids and I already go to a weekly gathering of Brazilian mums and their children here in Enfield where we live. It is a great opportunity for them to be exposed to Portuguese regularly. But, I was missing the chance to offer them something more formal. Thanks to ABRIR, who are managing this scheme, now they will be able to have formal lessons as the ‘price’ is very accessible (free)!
