There are young people coming from different cities and regions. This proves the importance of the Institution for the development of the state.
"At UNISC, we engaged in a variety of activities such as mini-lectures on various topics, several tours which included a tour of a tobacco plant and a Brazilian micro-brewery, and time spent with seniors who were students of UNISC’s social program – UNIAMA which is education for retired seniors."
"What I liked the most about the International School was the outside activities and the discussions we had in class about international issues. Everything was amazing, and I really loved the great relationship we had with the international office team, to know that we could count on them for everything was awesome."
“This days in Santa Cruz will change my life because now I see the world in a different way and out of stereotypes. And absolutly because I met awesome people there and now around the world. "
“I would like to encourage anyone to participate in this study program to Brazil. This program was structured very well, and I was able to fully immerse myself in Brazilian culture."
