Abstract

This article describes FGV-EAESP´s Conexão Local (Local Connection), a four-year old project that aims to introduce FGV-EAESP´s undergraduate students to the different Brazilian realities through immersion trips every July. Every year, different innovative social cases - mostly focusing local incremental and developmental actions either from public or civil society organizations – are selected to be visited by a pair of students that will pass one month observing and getting acquainted to the everyday life of the subjects that carry on those experiences. This project is different from the Federal Government “Projeto Rondon”, which aims to provide applied knowledge to the community through trained students. Conexão Local trails an opposite path: the students learn from the experiences and they are taught by members of an intelligent community (Dowbor, 2002).
