All community members are invited to participate in this celebration by writing a poem or short story in Portuguese. From these, the judging committee selects a series of texts that best represent each category (Early Years, Primary, Secondary, Staff, Parents) to be published in an anthology, which is released at the end of the first semester, accompanied by an awarding ceremony attended by the community.

Each published author receives a copy of the book free of charge. Additional copies of the anthology are then made available to purchase, with all proceeds then being used to purchase fiction and textbooks in a public school library in the community of Paraisópolis.

There, the Portuguese teachers from St. Nicholas organise a local version of “Made in Brasil” and one text of Paraisópolis children is published in the anthology, to represent this community.

We are proud that the community celebration that is “Made in Brasil” has been recognised internationally as the subject of an article published in “IB Magazine”.

Stay tuned, “Made in Brasil” happens every first term of the academy year at St. Nicholas School Pinheiros and every second term at St. Nicholas School Alphaville.
