Challenge activity: a tool to be more vivid online

By Cristiana S Martins | ESCAS Coordinator

Classes of the period

Dear Family/Donors,

We are still home, but the time is passing by...

So here are we again, how are you doing? Hope you are safe and well.

At this time of the year, we are still with our last MBA classes (because we decided to extend it due to the COVID pandemic and online activities), but also planning and building the new one application procedures for the 2021 class.

The table above (attached file) show the theme of the online classes in this period.

We developed also an activity called Challenge. We invited the team of one of IPÊ´s projects : The Semeando Água (https://semeandoagua.ipe.org.br/) and they gave to our students 3 challenges to be solved. In three groups they worked together and presented to the project team the solutions and reflections they made (you will see the pictures in this report):

- Challenge 1: How can the project gain scale in the implementation of Sustainable Productive Systems and initiatives, such as tourism, that contribute to sustainable development in the region?

- Challenge 2: Considering the need to promote territorial economic development, what would be the actions to encourage entrepreneurship in the region?

- Challenge 3: What are the best marketing strategies for food production in the Cantareira System at a fair price?

We don't even need to say they rocked, right? And the project team will use these results in their new actions.

We also have a new feature. We received a GlobalGiving grant for COVID issues and we already designed actions for communities in the Amazon and with our new MBA class (see our attached file with the proposal). We are extremely grateful for that! Follow us in the next reports to know more!

Many Thanks again for your support and please, help us to disseminate our mission and impact!

We really love to receive you impressions and suggestions; you have JUST TO WRITE ME in the following address: ipe.cristi.martins@gmail.com

All the best,

Cristiana

Table: Students Final Work themes

Dear Family/Donors,

It is time to meet again. Hello, how are you doing? Hope you are safe and well and doing things for your soul.

Regarding our MBA scholars, we are still online and apart during classes. Nonetheless, the course is advancing and our students are now developing their Final Work projects. The attached table show you the interesting and useful themes they choose to go deep.

Please, see the above Table (attached file)

And in the middle of the discussions, orientation and writing meetings, classes continued, with the themes of Marketing and Governance. Undoubtedly important and that will help in the development of business plans for the final job! See the attached photos.

I am also attaching links to the activities of two of our students: Tarcísio and Naiara, who work with indigenous people and the Amazon, respectively. It is an example of the impact that these professionals have on our society, and how they can spread and strengthen their actions from the MBA

Classes going on, students are always the goal!

By Cristiana S Martins | ESCAS Coordinator

Students in the digital class

Dear Family/Donors,

Here we are again, reporting to you what we are doing.

First, how are you doing? Hope you are safe and well.

As we have stated in our last June report, with the COVID-19 global crisis we adapted our school model to a digital one and continued our classes respecting the social distance norms.

The course content in advancing and we entered now the subject: The field of socio-environmental business and structuring socio-environmental businesses. In this module, we have the following objectives:

To know the contemporary approaches to organizational typologies.
Understand the concept of organizational hybridity and its practical applications.
Identify the tensions and dilemmas of managing new organizational formats.
Know the legal, juridical and governance aspects of socio-environmental business.
Knowing the role of ecosystem actors in leveraging business: incubators, accelerators, angel networks, investment funds, public agencies.
Accessing approaches and methodologies used to design socio-environmental business models.
Know the life cycles of socio-environmental enterprises and the solutions to face the challenges of designing and implementing these initiatives.
Reflect on the profile, role and performance of the entrepreneur.
Know the mechanisms and instruments for fundraising

Does it look too complicated? Moreover, it could be, but our teachers come from the business world and are able to translate for our students this depth showing in practice the challenges and paradigms of this new economy.

We received guests John Carter and Aline Locks (https://aliancadaterra.org/ and Produzindo Certo) who brought the story of the NGO Aliança da Terra, which became the company Produzindo Certo and intensified socio-environmental projects with rural producers.

Also, check out in the appendices the nomination of two students for two prizes: the Agroforestry Challenge and the national stage of the Global Competition of Green Business Ideas, held by Climate Ventures.

Many Thanks again for your support and please, help us to spread our ideas and achievements!

Be safe and Our Best Wishes to you!
