SUPPORT, EDUCATE AND INCLUDE
Imagine a nest. A warming place of care and support. That’s what we are. Here at Projeto Uirapuru we are dedicated to preparing young people from public schools to reach new heights, knowing that flying is a challenge that demands resilience, commitment and the best version of each one. Like a mother who wants the best for her children, we are demanding and at the same time loving.
In this nest, each young person finds space to express their voices and aspirations, develop their talents and skills and reach their full potential to take the first “flights” of their professional journey.
