The Event
The first TEDxKidsPortoSeguroSchool took place in 2016 under the theme “Children: Future Visions and Voices”. Realized in Oscar Niemeyer auditorium at Colégio Visconde de Porto Seguro, the event featured 34 speakers of ages 9 and 10. The first edition was so successful, that the following in the year 2017 demanded great attention from us by selecting the lectures, so excited the children were to share their ideas. In the edition that covered the topic “Children: Guardians of Tomorrow – multiple ideas to share the world”, 44 speakers put on a real show of ideas worth sharing. 2019 edition, which took place in Vladislovas Polisaitis auditorium on Valinhos Campus, followed the theme “Creativity and Diversity”, maintained the same dynamics of the previous years and featured 26 speakers.
In 2021, we once again innovated and hosted the first online edition of TEDxPortoSeguroSchool, which searched for high-school students who had good stories and innovative proposals for the world. In the theme “Pandemics: Year Zero. Shall we start over?”, 18 speakers shared their breakthrough stories and ideas to improve life quality.
TEDxPortoSeguroSchool 2023 is going to take place in Vila Andrade auditorium with the theme “Opportunities”. It will be a great occasion for the 14 speakers to present their projects to the world.

Building friendship bridges: the importance of empathy
Ana Clara Matias and Raissa Suzart
Ana Clara is in 3rd year of High School and is a psychology and photography enthusiast. The topic she will be presenting explores how friendship takes us to a good place and helps us evolve. As someone who likes changes, she has always sought for self-improvement and strived to achieve her goals through changes. Ana Clara is a good standby, values the common good, reflects about how she can develop as a group and as an individual, and shares her experiences and moments.
Raissa is in 3rd year of High School. Committed to her goals, she learned that, as many obstacles as she would find in her way, she was stronger than that. So, Raissa decided to change. She enjoys music and is interested in new developments in the areas of communication and advertising. At TEDx@PortoSeguroSchool, she will be speaking about how friendship has helped her grow academically and psychologically.
Anna Laura is in 3rd year of High School and believes that education is a tool for transforming reality, as long as it is used equally to everyone in society. Thus, she volunteered for six months at PECP library－a social program by Hospital Israelita Albert Einstein in the slum of Paraisópolis, where Anna Laura lives. She intends to study Medicine, because she understands that such an inhuman world needs more doctors with humanized care. In her free time, Anna Laura likes to clear her mind by watching movies, reading books, and riding her bike.
Bruna is in 2dn year of High School and has always been a fan of art and the possibilities that may arise from her creations. She usually draws female characters as an expression of her great admiration of women’s power. Her main role model is her mother, who raised her kids on her own by working double and even triple shifts－as many other women do. For TEDx, Bruna chose this topic to show how art is a part not only of her life, but of everybody’s life and to encourage art being a lot more than a hobby.
Caio Halbert Jacinto works as a software and game developer. He started his journey in technology in 2014, as he first came into touch with programming. In the same year, he got acquainted with Dr. Francisco Isidro－his professor, advisor and Jedi master, who led him through game development studies and introduced him to the tech market. Caio develops games ranging from casual to training-oriented, ERP software, startup launching, and education-related; also, he is always active in software planning, execution, and production.
Gabriela is in 3rd year of High School and lives in the slum of Paraisópolis. She wants to study Environmental Biology to learn more about the animal world. As a kid, she used to watch adventure movies and has had the dream of exploring new cultures and new places since. She loves books and writing poems. When Gabriela read The Selection Series, she became interested in the system of social classes. This way, she decided to participate in TEDx, so she could share her ideas on the caste system and discuss walks of life.
Izabella Sipriano, 16 years old, is in 2nd year of High School and has great interest in finance-related subjects. She aims to change her reality and her family’s reality through education, which she only started at the age of 13. Izabella intends to study Financial Management in college and provide people with financial guidance. At TEDx, she will be covering Income Tax and the ways it may affect people’s lives.
Keven Santos Carvalho is in 3rd year of High School and will be sharing his journey of transformation and interdependence in the work environment. Born in a socially deprived neighborhood with scarce opportunities and limited prospects, Keven knew from an early age that he wanted to do something meaningful in his life. With determination and willpower, he has fought to stand out at school in the face of adversity. And this is how he keeps on treading his path: Always willing to learn, to grow, and to share his experiences with other, seeking to inspire more stories of transformation and interdependence in the world of work.
Luana Karine Santos Martins is 16 years old and currently studies in the 2nd year of High School. She is an active girl, who loves reading, doing sport, and playing music. Having always had an interest in the field of health, especially neurological health, she found out after some research that, although technology is increasingly advancing, human being is stepping back and losing lots of mental abilities. That is precisely why Luana decided to discuss how harmful technology may be, however good and practical. This way, she can warn future generations about conscious ways of using internet.
Alms or reparation? The importance of racial quotas in higher education
Maria Luisa Barbosa
Maria Luiza is in 3rd year of High School and lives in the slum of Paraisópolis. Since she was a little girl, her mother has always struggled to give her the best she could. As a scholarship holder, “Malu” realized the different realities that surround her, especially the one of the black youth in Brazil. She believes that education can change the world, but that requires us to equalize opportunities and grant chances to those who lack them.
Maria Luiza is 17 and is in the 2nd year of High School. Her mother raised her children by herself, and Maria Luiza will be the first of all seven siblings to finish High School. She is a very curious girl, who loves to learn new things and make discoveries on her own. No wonder, she wants to become a biomedical doctor to discover new diseases and their cure. Assertive and straightforward, even though she enjoyed discussing relevant topics, she has seldom been taken seriously－perhaps her lack of trust in the others is to blame. However, as soon as she realized that she could act differently, she adopted an attitude that earned her several opportunities, such as being a member of Porto Seguro’s Student Committee, influencing her schoolmates, leading groups in the church where she goes, being the person designated to present class works, and captivating people. Maria Luiza is very imperative; nothing goes past without getting a trace of her personality. She enjoys playing instruments, singing, and dancing－ways that she finds to express herself.
Raquel da Silva Gomes, 17 years old, has been living in the slum of Paraisópolis ever since she was a child. At the age of 5, she was appointed by teachers to study at a private school, Colégio Visconde de Porto Seguro, where she would have the opportunity of getting high-quality education. When she was 9, she decided to take up ballet classes to try out something new. In the future, Raquel means to show that, way beyond any difficulties and challenges, her dream of dancing has always been a lot more than just a dream. She is now in the 2nd year of High School and takes part in extracurricular activities, like dance classes, where the main goal is to explore new forms of this art. Raquel had various obstacles to dance throughout her life, but giving up has never been an option. Dancing is her essence and her major motivation to keep cutting her own path. After all, dance sets people free. Shall we dance?
Ryan is in 3rd year of High School and take classes at Kumon－a method aiming at promoting student’s autonomy in the studies. Over 11 years, he won certificates, trophies, and South American medals. Out of the school environment, Ryan stands out as a rhythmist and malandro at Vai-Vai samba school, having earned four prizes up to this moment－two in the special category, and two in 1st access of Samba School League. As a holder of two personal titles, he was awarded two best passista sashes: one golden passista in the Carnival of 2019, another one by Grupo Sampa in 2021.
I pay, you pay... but who receives? Brazil: The country of taxes
Vivian Mariana Macena
Vivian is in 2dn year of High School and has always been fascinated with Math classes and how challenged she felt by them. Later, she decided to go in even deeper with extracurricular classes in Business School.Having learned about Brazil’s fiscal system in Financial Math classes, she became intrigued by the way taxes affect people’s lives and society as a whole.

Musicians
My name is Stephanie Barbosa, and I am 15 years old. I started singing when I was 7 years old (in 2014). Music has always moved me deeply, which explains why I sing: it is just a consequence of my eagerness to express myself through music.
I am 17 years old. I sing since I was little, but I only started composing when I was 14 years old. My inspiration in music is always embodied in the people who were or still are part of my life. Music helps me express my feelings.
