The lectures by several experts from different universities and insitutes allow the participants to gain a common knowledge interface to ease and stimulate exchange. All participants are invited to make use of their participatory right and propose topics and/or lecturers interesting to the larger group.

Free Portuguese crash-course
To ease local exchange in São Paulo, a crash course of seven 2-hour sessions is offered for all interested participants to learn conversation fundamentals of the Brazilian language. Participation to this additional part of the program is voluntary and free of cost. We strongly stimulate participation to this course as it provides the exceptional benefit to learn some rudimentary communication skills to break the ice for local communication.
When? Where?
Lectures will be given at the Faculty of Architeture (Delft University of Technology) in room Bk.West.170. The Portuguese course is scheduled on Monday evenings starting from the 16th of February 2009 between 18:00 and 19:30. On Monday March 9 there will be no lesson. Study materials will be provided during the first lesson.
Participation
This additional crash-course is free of costs since we highly stimulate participation! Yet, we do make considerable extra costs. So, those that indicate that they want to participate have to attend the lesson on Monday. If more than 1 of the 7 lessons is missed, we will ask for a fee of E50,-.
Teacher
Lessons will be given by Leticia Silva Mendes. Leticia is a native Brazilian and lives in the Netherlands since 2000. She has an extensive experience in language education.
