Various cultural and educational projects have launched across Brazil, focusing on social transformation and empowerment. In São Paulo, theater initiatives such as the Cia. Rústica residency at the Instituto Brasileiro de Teatro aim to foster creative dialogue through workshops. Additionally, the ‘Recicla Cultural’ project is performing in municipal schools to teach children about sustainability and the circular economy.

In Rio de Janeiro and Goiânia, new projects emphasize female presence and activism. The MulheRio do Samba project in Rio de Janeiro features an all-female samba circle, while the Bloco Não é Não group in Goiânia has launched a multimedia exhibition to document the use of Carnival as a platform for political positioning and combating violence against women.
