About Us

Love in action since 2016

Associação Vinde a Mim, founded in 2003, runs educational programmes in the environment, human rights, health, digital inclusion and sports for socially vulnerable children and teenagers aged 2 to 17.

Our mission is to build awareness of reality so that each person can act as a true social protagonist.

What we do

Activities that transform lives

Educational, sports and cultural workshops that develop body, mind and citizenship.

Judo

Through judo, children and teenagers develop physical and intellectual skills, learning discipline, how to handle defeat and to value continuous effort.

Capoeira

A Brazilian cultural expression marked by agile, harmonious movements set to music and choreography that strengthen body and identity.

Choir

A relaxing practice that supports the learning of subjects requiring logical reasoning, developing cognitive skills linked to speech and singing.

Music

Stimulates areas of the brain that other languages do not reach, improving sensitivity, focus and memory — benefiting literacy and mathematical reasoning.

Theatre

Fundamentally important in education, it helps children act critically while developing creativity, coordination, memory and vocabulary.

Digital Inclusion

Hands-on computer classes: the teacher explains and the children immediately put theory into practice, preparing safely for the future.

Tutoring

Complements formal schooling and is considered essential by education specialists for each child's full development.

Workshops

Games and workshops that develop motor skills and encourage curiosity, self-confidence, autonomy and socialisation among the children.
