IMAGINE, by André Ramos – SINTER/UFSC
• Imagine is a solidarity project, aimed to scientific
inclusion and cultural exchange. UFSC and their partners
will bring elementary scientific knowledge and
conceptions to isolated communities in Brazil and in
partners countries (Angola, Marrocos, Mexico, Peru).
• As a long term goal, with Imagine we intend to
contribute for arising scientific curiosity and peoples
friendship, promoting a better understanding (and,
therefore, acceptance) of differences and similarities
among individuals, ethnic groups, peoples and cultures.
