WimBelemDon

in October

It took a two-year wait, but it was worth it! Postponed due to the restrictions imposed by the Covid-19 pandemic, the exhibition WimBelemDon – A Story of Dreams, Education, Perseverance and Social Transformation was finally able to occur. Initially scheduled for October 2020, as part of the celebrations for our 20th anniversary, the exhibition was set up at BarraShoppingSul, in Porto Alegre, between October 4th and 31st, 2022.

The multimedia project planned for two years impressed guests and visitors, due to the architectural design and content of the program during the 28 days of the exhibition. It was as if WimBelemDon had gained a second home, as in addition to the exhibition’s exclusive attractions, several events were held as part of the institution’s traditional schedule.

The structure set up in the mall included a stage for activities, a wide screen, photo panels and three mini tennis courts, to accommodate dozens of activities. Through performances, lectures and workshops held by our educators and students, we are able to proudly share the history and essence of our work.

The space was also the place for the launch of the second edition of the book WimBelemDon, Uma História de Sonhos, Educação, Perseverança e Transformação Social (WimBelemDon, A Story of Dreams, Education, Perseverance and Social Transformation). Published by Entrelinhas Conteúdo & Forma, the book has 320 pages and has an English version, in print and digital format.

On the first two days, children and young people from the NGO had a lot of fun with free tickets to the HotZone. Partner restaurant, Outback provided delicious snacks for students and staff throughout the exhibition.

This “second home” for 28 days proved to be a great opportunity for more people to understand what SOCIAL TRANSFORMATION means, and to have contact with one of our main attributes: PERSEVERANCE.

Children’s Day inside the exhibition

The 12th of October, such a significant date for our students, did not go unnoticed in the schedule of the exhibition at BarraShoppingSul.

We had the presence of chef Lucas Corazza, our ambassador, who came from São Paulo for such special occasion. He baked cookies with the kids and chatted with everyone. The students of Jovem Recanto Maestro Orchestra also enjoyed the delicious cookies during their visit to our exhibition, in addition to making a beautiful presentation of their Brass, Wind and Percussion Orchestra.
