Chico Mendes for the youth
Our work concerning the threatened cultures of the forests started in 2001-2003 with the project Chico Mendes e o Encantado that reached 25.000 spectators in the largest cities of Brazil, making known the life and work of the rubber-industry workers leader Chico Mendes, recognized worldwide for defending the Amazon and its inhabitants, who was assassinated in 1988.
In 2004-2006 the project Chico Mendes for the youth produced audiovisual material about this leader and workshops for 420 youths in the slums around Serra da Cantareira - SP and Acre (Amazonia). This project was rewarded in the National Youth Conference of Environment (ex minister Marina Silva) for creating a methodology inspired by the Empates (movement of resistance to deforestation organized by the rubber-workers of the Amazon. during the eighties).
