About us
The Home-School Project is a place of non-formal
education for common and spontaneous use by children and preadolescents.
Where we are
The Home-School Project is located in Antônio
Pereira, a District of Ouro Preto in Minas Gerais State, Brazil.
What we do
We receive an average of 130 children and
pre-adolescents in the Home-School weekly.
We offer Capoeira lessons as well as photography
and cinema lessons during the week. On weekends, we offer toys, movies and
books for the children and teens to play, watch and read. They can also take
some of them home for a certain period of time.

belonging among local children, teenagers, and community members in general.
* Education and Art - workshops (cooking, gardening, computer
