Indigenous education and cultural projects in Mato Grosso

Overview

In Mato Grosso, educational and cultural initiatives are targeting indigenous communities and regional identity. An intercultural indigenous licensure program, a partnership between the Ministry of Education and the Federal University of Mato Grosso, opened applications for 60 vacancies in Pedagogy, Languages and Humanities, and Natural Sciences and Mathematics. The program aims to support Mẽbêngôkre/Kayapó, Tapayuna, Trumai, and Yudjá communities through a model that alternates between university time and community time.

Simultaneously, cultural projects are expanding in the region. The ‘Águas Culturais – Talentos do Cerrado em Cena’ project is bringing circus performances, workshops, and ancestral knowledge circles to indigenous villages such as the Hawalora, Itxalá, and Majtyri communities in the Vale do Araguaia region.
