On November 23rd, we were honored to gather at Escola Bilíngue Carolina Patrício in Rio de Janeiro to create a space, build meaningful connections and celebrate over 150 young people from all over Brazil 🇧🇷 From showcasing their CAS projects to inspiring global conversations, this event truly embodied the International Baccalaureate's mission of building a better world through education. 🌍🎓 The agenda was brimming with fun activities: 🏐 Sports: Beach Volleyball, Soccer, and Canoeing fostered teamwork and resilience. 🎶 Music: Student-led jam sessions celebrated creativity and talent. 🎨 Arts: Workshops in Photography, Origami, and Drawing encouraged expression and collaboration. 🗣️ Debate Rooms: Thought-provoking discussions tackled global challenges like Hunger, Poverty, Education Access, and Climate Change, reflecting priorities of the G20 Brasil Summit. A special highlight was the keynote by Bernardo (Bernardinho) Rezende (Head Coach of the Brazilian men’s national volleyball team and Olympic Medalist) who shared invaluable lessons on leadership, resilience, and the power of passion and discipline. His words, “Two things motivate people: passion and need,” resonated deeply with attendees, inspiring us to continue leading by example 💡 We extend our heartfelt gratitude to: 🌟 Our incredible team – Tim Logan, Jennifer Bahrami, Elsa Ramos, Claudia Widder, Dr. Maripe Menendez, Clarissa Weber and Luis Eduardo Rivas Garzón 🤝 Our partners – Brazilian Association of IB Schools (BAIBS) and our hosts at Escola Bilíngue Carolina Patrício 🤝 Our sponsors - IE University, Toddle - Your Teaching Partner and Pearson 👏 The amazing students, younger participants, and CAS leaders who showcased creativity, passion, and hope in action.

IB Festival of Hope - Brazil's edition 🤍 💙 We’re proud to bring together two editions of the IB Festival of Hope this month to Brazil! Today, the online version of the event brought together over 200 youth from across Brazil, all engaging with enthusiasm and purpose as they work toward creating a positive social impact. A huge congratulations to the students from IB DP candidate Escola Bilíngue Carolina Patrício and the Brazilian Association of IB Schools (BAIBS) team for making this virtual gathering a success! I’m looking forward to the in-person celebration on November 23 at Escola Bilíngue Carolina Patrício in Rio, right after the G20 Brasil 2024 summit. This will be an incredible opportunity for International Baccalaureate DP senior students to showcase their Creativity, Activity, Service (CAS) projects, each focused on hope and positive change in Brazil. Through their CAS work, students bring the IB’s mission to life, embodying values of resilience, teamwork, and community impact. Along with university representatives, educational partners, students and educators, we’re honored to have Bernardo (Bernardinho) Rezende, Head Coach of the Brazilian men’s national volleyball team, Olympic medalist, speaker, and author, as our guest speaker. Bernardinho will share his insights on sports, hope, and resilience with our IB youth. I can’t wait to hear his inspirational message for the next generation of leaders. For all PYP, MYP, and DP schools, this is a wonderful moment to unite, share ideas, and celebrate the meaningful work our students are doing, empowering young people to make a difference! 🌍✨ If you are interested in participating with your IB senior students showcasing their CAS projects related to hope for a better future, please reach out to Michelline Baptista de Macedo Ramos at [email protected] For IB DP schools unable to join in person with their senior students, we invite you to share video submissions of your CAS projects!
