****************
Dr. Vasco de Jesus Rodrigues during educational activity highlighting the importance of Brazilian research in Antarctica. The event took place at the EMEB Dr. Vicente Zammite Mammana, in Vila Planalto, São Bernardo do Campo. Participating are 8 year-old students attending their Elementary School's 3rd grade, and having Ms. Maria da Fé Silva Cordeiro as their teacher.
1. The Elementary Education System in Brazil - an overview
Originally known as Grupo Escolar de Vila Planalto (GEVP), our elementary school is part of the São Bernardo do Campo City public school system. All the other approximately 6,760 towns throughout Brazil follow a similar format, that is, elementary education is organized and implemented by local city governments. Private elementary schools are likewise available for those that can so choose and afford.
Unfortunately, similarities seem to end then and there, because, unlike conditions found at Grupo Escolar de Vila Planalto, most school systems in this immense country offer far from acceptable educational standards to their students. Evidence gathered while presenting the "Little Big Scientist Program" at the school gave us the impression of working at the premises of an affluent society, one in which education is held in high standards, as evidenced by what we witnessed during our activities there, such as:
1.1. Classes begin at 7 in the morning and end at 12 noon; a light breakfast is served to students prior to start of classroom activities, while lunch is served at 10:30;
1.2. Student's uniforms, tennis shoes, books and classroom material are supplied by the city free of charge;
1.3. Dentists visit the school on a regular basis to distribute tooth paste and tooth brushes, check student’s health, and give them proper training on that regard;
1.4. Students have access to internet, library, art and sports activities daily;
1.5. The school provides transport so that students can have guided visits to museums, historical sites, cultural and artistic events; and
1.6. The principal, teachers and regular staff are really motivated and trained appropriately to perform their tasks and responsibilities;
2. The "Little Big Scientist Program "
The concept of the "Little Big Scientist Program " evolved and became a reality in order to fill an enormous gap in Brazilian education: that of motivating young learners to discover scientific events and concepts in playful and interesting ways.
This project lasts about one month, during which students have exercise different skills such as reading, writing, drawing, public speaking, and learning about new areas. At GEVP, for example, with our close partnership with their teacher, Ms. Cordeiro, the little learners had to read about different topics on Antarctica one week prior to our presentation; they were asked to produce a text and drawings related to Antarctica; their final work will be the oral presentation given by them on the last day of the project. Students are awarded a certificate of participation upon completion of the "Little Big Scientist Program ".
During our presentation they asked the list of questions they had prepared, along with plenty more on the spot. All 20 students asked at least one question; some are listed below:
Why is it important to protect the Antarctic environment for future generations? (André);
Why is Antarctica important for the study of climate change and geological research? (Camille);
Does the Antarctic fauna have many kinds of species? What do they eat? (Eduardo);
Did you ever save any animal in Antarctica? (Eduardo);
Why is it important to preserve the Antarctic fauna? (Emanuel);
How do penguins live in Antarctica? (Erick);
What will happen if the Antarctic ice melts one day? (Kauan);
What animals are more frequently seen in Antarctica? How was Antarctica formed? How many people live in Antarctica? Can people live there permanently? (Estela);
Is there any kind of rock formation beneath the permanent Antarctic ice cap? (Gabriel);
Why and which countries have economic interests in Antarctica? (Gabrielly);
How cold does it get in Antarctica? (Julia);
Who owns Antarctica? Is it a part of a country? Is it privately owned? How does that work? (Leonardo);
How important is the Comandante Ferraz Brazilian Antarctic Station? (Maria Fernanda);
How is daily life in Antarctica compared to life in Brazil? (Matheus);
What kind of clothes do researchers wear while working in Antarctica? (Matheus);
What is the most interesting animal in Antarctica and why? (Nathalia);
Which are the closest countries to Antarctica? (Pedro);
Are there any bears in Antarctica? If so, do they really hibernate in winter? (Rafael);
How was your first day in Antarctica? (Rayane);
Who joined you while in Antarctica? (Thiago).

I think that I have a budding architect in my midst. For English class, my 9th grader had to read And Then There Were None, instead of a usual book report the students had to present something from the story to the class.
He decided to create Indian Island and the Modern house that U.N. Owen had constructed on the island. I think it's a pretty damn good job. In his oral presentation he even talked about Frank Lloyd Wright and Rudolph Schindler.
A total of 200 participants, 70 oral presentations, 170 scientific posters on display, two culinary demonstrations, more than a dozen specialized sessions, visits to laboratories and field trials from the cassava program at CIAT, a new president of the ISTRC, and a touching award ceremony. These are some of the figures that show how intense and productive were those four days of work in the 18th Triennial Symposium of the International Society for Tropical Root Crops (ISTRC), that was held from October 22 to 25 at CIAT’s headquarters.

www.dwalshphoto.com-- PRESS INFO The EUCAPA (European Congress in Adapted Physical Activity) Conference will take place in Killarney, Co. Kerry from 6-8th May 2012. The Conference, with its theme of âPutting Practice Based Research into Actionâ will have a strong focus on national and international research and case studies which inform day to day practice in relation to the inclusion and empowerment of people with disabilities in sport. 300 delegates and presenters from 31 countries are expected to this truly intentional event with an impressive line-up of international speakers.The event is organised by the Institute of Technology, Tralee with the support of Fáilte Ireland, the Department of Justice and Equality (who are funding the awards), the National Disability Authority, the CARA Adapted Physical Activity Centre and the Irish Sports Council. Topics will cover physical education, physical activity and rehabilitation services for people with disabilities.Minister Kathleen Lynch, launching the conference at Leinster House said:-âSport has the physical and mental attributes to improve the quality of life for all participants especially for the disabled for whom club and friends and social life combines with healthy competition in a favourite sport. It is, by its nature, inclusive of players and spectators, provides role models and excitement and a seamless participation in the social and cultural life of the nation be it local, national or international where success is measured by inclusion and empowerment as well as prowess on the field.âAs well as impressive presentations there will be practical workshops allowing delegates to experience different methods of delivering a variety of activities in different settings e.g., inclusive football/ground hurling; adapted aquatics; self-defence for people with vision impairments. The full conference programme can be viewed on the conference website www.eucapa2012.euNote for Editors:-The Institute of Technology Tralee has previously hosted four highly successful National Adapted Physical Activity Conference the first of which was in 2003. Since then, the Institute in conjunction with the Irish Sports Council has led a number of significant developments in the area of adapted physical activity (APA) in Ireland and Europe. Winning the bid to host the European Congress in Ireland offers us an opportunity to showcase the many excellent APA initiatives to other countries while also keeping abreast of best practice abroad so we can raise standards even higher at home.The title and theme of the conference: The conference theme is âPutting Practice Based Research into Actionâ. The organising committee have purposely sought presenters who can give practical tips to PE teachers, parents, coaches, physiotherapists, carers on how to increase the amount and quality of physical activity for people with disabilities. Many of the sessions are practical in nature so that delegates get to experience disability sports and inclusive activities so that they can implement programme immediately after the conference.Who is speaking at the event - and keynotes of interest: There is an impressive International line-up including the most renowned names in Adapted Physical Activity. There are 5 keynote speakers - Main International Speakers will include David Carless who will look at the area of physical activity and mental health; Vicky Tolfrey an expert in sports science for paralympic athletes and Donna Goodwin whose research explores disability as a social construction and the resulting impact of societal actions on opportunities for engagement in active lifestyles. Overall there will be 70 oral presentations and 70 poster presentations.What is likely to be discussed at the conference: The conference will outline what positive developments are happening in Ireland and further afield. The presentations will inform people working in the areas of sport, active recreation, physical education, disability services, health services and rehabilitation on best practice at home and abroad which will give them knowledge on how to improve their service delivery. Chairperson of the organising committee Pat Flanagan predicts that âThis conference will guide the provision of physical activity, sport and physical education for people with disabilities for many years to come. It is essential that all stakeholders in this area grasp this opportunity to influence the future of APA in Ireland and Europe.âAnd finally:-People with disabilities in Ireland are 3 times more likely to be inactive than people without a disability. Also according to the US Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) children with disabilities are 38% more likely to be obese than their counterparts. Improved access to physical activity can reduce these startling statistics. With speakers and researchers from 31 countries attending this conference it is hoped that Ireland can learn from the successes of programmes from Ireland and across the world and turn the tide on access to activity, increase participation rates and reduce obesity amongst people with disabilities in Ireland and abroad.For further information contact:Pat Flanagan, Institute of Technology, Tralee.Phone: 086 1599334 or 066-7145678Email: pat.flanagan@staff.ittralee.ie
