EDUACTION INTERNSHIP 2013.2 COLOMBIA- URUGUAY- MEXICO- PERU- BRASIL
EduAction is an educational project, developed by AIESEC in partnership with Gerdau, that brings young global-minded international volunteers to public schools in Latin America.
Mission: To create a inter-cultural learning environment in the public schools in order to expand the world view of the students and the society in general. Vision: To bring real social transformation through a shift of the students’ mindset.
The idea for the project was born in the head of an ex-AIESECer, Douglas Martins, in 2005. In 2009, the EduAction Pilot Project took place in Porto Alegre. In 2010 the project started expanding in 9 cities in Brazil, and in 2011 the project had its first expansion in Latin America : Colombia. By 2012 the project had expanded to Uruguay, Argentina, Mexico, and Peru.
Currently the project is happening twice a year in several cities in Brazil, and in the other 5 countries. Has already hosted hundreds of international volunteers and tens of thousands of students. And it is still growing‌ It is considered the biggest and most professional project of AIESEC network.
