Luis Gandin and I are pleased to announce the first Urban Education Exchange Program in Porto Alegre, Brazil this summer. As you may know, Porto Alegre has been the site of significant social and educational innovation in the past few years. In July, under the auspices of Oakland University, participants will have the opportunity to spend four weeks studying with and interacting with educators and social reformers in Porto Alegre's Citizen schools. Participants will receive 4 credits (graduate or undergraduate) which they may transfer to their home institutions.

Please spread the word to any educators and/or researchers who you think might be interested in attending the program in Brazil The deadline for application is April 27. We have attached a flier which we invite you to distribute either electronically or in print form to those who you think might be interested.

Thanks again for any help you are able to provide in publicizing our program. The website for the program is http://www.oakland.edu/brazil

Best Wishes,

Tom
