Brazil continues to implement various educational and social initiatives focused on child development through arts and sports. In Cuiabá, the Full-Time Integral Education Program aims to involve 22 educational units by 2026, offering activities such as music, theater, capoeira, and martial arts. At Emeb Nossa Senhora Aparecida, a Jiu-Jitsu project currently engages 52 children to improve social and academic skills.

Additionally, the CTE Capoeiragem Mestre Balão International School hosts free public capoeira workshops for all ages, from infants to seniors.

In Campo Grande, ‘Projeto Ajudou’ provides 40 free judo vacancies for children at Parque Tarsila do Amaral through July 2027, focusing on character development and healthy habits.
