We are strong when we cooperate; with the example of Vila São Judas Tadeu, a poor district in Brazil we work for the environment, to increase environmental protection and raise income. This Brazilian -German environmental protection project aims to show how well an area of the developed city of Porto Alegre, which has poor infrastructure, can be a role model for environmental protection and in the use of renewal resources. In this project there are several tasks to solve e.g. an improvement in the local waste management, the installation of a photovoltaic solar power system to generate electricity from solar energy; but also to raise awareness amongst the local population regarding local environmental protection. One focus are the workshops with children and young people where mosaics are created out of building rubble with a female artist. In addition we want to set up contacts between a German school, the association and the university so that we can spread the ideas regarding environmental protection as well as to initiate a lively exchange of ideas beyond the country’s boundaries. There is only one world in which we live whose resources we can protect better when we cooperate. We have involved various stakeholders to improve the chances of success: in Brazil the PURCS University and the association AMOVITA; in Germany the consultancy firm envitepro GmbH and the Industry’s Training Institute gGmbH
