The André and Lucia Maggi Foundation, an institution that carries out AMAGGI’s private social investment, signed a Partnership Agreement with Cuiabá’s City Hall, through the Municipal Department of Education, for developing actions aimed at contributing for the integral formation of children and adolescents in schools from the municipal public education, using art-education as a tool, through the ‘Maggical’ Home Project.

The Partnership was signed this Monday (07.05), in a ceremony held at Cuiabá’s Municipal Secretariat.

Activities will be carried out in the municipal schools Professor Ranulpho Paes de Barros, in the Santa Izabel district, and Professora Esmeralda de Campos Fontes, located in the Santa Rosa 2

neighborhood. 151 students, aged between 11 and 16, will participate, from 5th to 7th grade. Activities begin this Tuesday (08.05).
These schools were chosen based on a socioeconomic diagnosis of the municipality, made by the André and Lucia Maggi Foundation’s technical team in partnership with the Municipal Department of Education, and which demonstrated the potential of Cuiabá’s West Region to implement social projects.

Through the ‘Maggical’ Home Project, the André and Lucia Maggi Foundation develops activities focused on citizen education, through art-education. The purpose is to develop citizens and build, together with the schools and families, a network of young entrepreneurs and protagonists who will contribute in the future to the development of the locality where they live.

The André and Lucia Maggi Foundation’s Social investment Manager, Aletéa Rufino, explains that the project has already been developed in Rondonópolis since 2009, in one of the Foundation’s physical spaces. “From next year, in addition to the activities in schools, the project will also count with a physical structure in Cuiabá”.

The Secretary of Education, Alex Vieira Passos, stressed the importance of the partnership. “We encourage initiatives that bring humanization and inclusion to education, encouraging more and more the involvement of schools, parents and the society”.

Activities
Activities are held twice a week after school hours and are totally free. In addition to dance, music, arts and creativity focusing on prominence development and youth entrepreneurship, students’ evolution, workshops and reading groups are also conducted. Families of participating students are also involved in the activities.

The André and Lucia Maggi Foundation is the institution responsible for managing AMAGGI’s Private Social Investment in the municipalities where the company is present. Its activities are focused on local development, the engagement and training of leaderships and social institutions, and the development of citizens through art-education.
