TGV – Transition Granja Viana Granja Viana: a community 20 miles from the biggest economic and financial center in South America. We made a choice: migrating from the big city to live near the green belt of São Paulo.
The Solidarity Exchange Fair AUescambAU happens every last Sunday of the month in Granja Viana. The fair puts into practice the idea of changing consumer habits. People exchange clothes, books, objects and services. The fair intends to change our consumption habits, aiming at sustainability, solidarity and community spirit.
EARTH HOUR A worldwide event in which Granja Viana participated in a very particular way. Besides joining world campaign that aims to draw attention to global warming, the action at Granja Viana had a local and particular approach: 27 restaurants joined and offered candlelit dinners and also contributed with resources gathered that night for revitalizing Santa AdĂŠlia Square, a square at the heart of Granja Viana.
I VOTE WHERE I LIVE The campaign "I Vote Where I Live", which main objective was to motivate the “Granjeiros”, inhabitants of Granja Viana, who live in Carapicuiba town, but voted in São Paulo, to transfer their voting documents to Granja Viana electoral college and putting into practice its citizenship where they live.
GOL (Goal: We Like Local Organic Products!)The idea is simple and is already being implemented by a group of families: to buy organic food directly from local organic farmers. Our local farmers were about to give up their jobs because they were not being able to sell their organic production.
