In the current economic and social context, associations like ADECO—which were born out of ideals of solidarity and community commitment—are increasingly rare. We want this year to be a moment of unity for our community, ensuring that this project continues to grow as a pillar that brings people together and promotes collective well-being, so that our children can grow in an environment of mutual support, sharing, and respect, where each one feels valued and included.

ADECO will host several events throughout the 2025/2026 school year to celebrate its 50th anniversary. The dates will be announced in September, and the program will include:

• Series of Talks: Featuring guest speakers in the fields of pedagogy and child psychology, as well as discussions about ADECO’s history.

• Exhibition “The 50 Years of ADECO”.

• Evening Concerts: Small performances by artists from the ADECO community.

• Little fairs: Second-hand Toy and Clothing Fairs & World Foods: Activities organized for and by both children and adults.

• Anniversary Party – January 6

• “50 Years” Arraial

The organization of these events will be led by the board, along with families, members, and friends of ADECO. Any help the community can offer is very welcome!
