VTT BrazilA Study of Early
Childhood EducationApril 2016
The WhatA Vocational Training Team (VTT)
Address Early Childhood Education (birth to 5 years)
LearnShare All expenses funded through a Global Grant District 7710District 4510.
The Why - BrazilThe intent of the team is to learn and grow
from the Brazilians, through an experiential, focused trip.
Brazil’s Constitution (1988) recognized children's right to receive, and the country’s obligation to provide access to, Early Childhood Education. Brazil has been challenged to meet this obligation. Their successes and failures would inform our own efforts in this important area.
The team will have an opportunity to present our strengths and opportunities as well.
AND Brazil is cool!

Advocacy Health Education
