The Impurrão project will get a new PUSH this year!

Since capoeira, sports, music and dance are the most successful activities in Escola de Capoeira Berimbau de Ouro, we decided to focus on those elements in our next project. Former students from the school have become professional teachers, musicians, acrobats and sportsmen and the activities keep attracting youngsters and children from the neighbourhood in Montes Claros. Our teachers are also active in other poor and dangerous areas of the city.

Capoeira, music and all connected activities help structure the children's lives, make them aware of their physical condition and the need to cooperate. And it keeps them from the streets, where crack and other dangers are always present.

Impurrão II

From 2011 till 2013 we hope to realize some new and 'old' activities in the school. A new dojo (a place to train judo, boxing and other martial arts), some new musical instruments for a music course and maybe a music group. We hope to support the teaching competences of our teachers and create more 'satellite' training places in the city. 

The first Impurrão project
In 2007 and 2008, together with the municipality of Montes Claros several special courses were organized with financial support of Kindermissionswerk Die Sternsinger from Germany (www.sternsinger.org)
