ACCA works closely with the CIAME Project in Alto Vera Cruz, Belo Horizonte, Brazil. CIAME - Centre for the Integration and Care of Children and Teenagers - was founded in 1977 and is closely linked with the Secretary of State's program for Social Development and Sport (SEDESE).

CIAME's objective it to provide an environment for the informal education of children and teenagers in order to protect, defend rights, promote personal development and social awareness, through the formation of responsible, creative, independent and helpful citizens within society.

We provide a bridge to the program and offer an exchange whereby you can teach a language, drama, music or any other transferrable skill and in return, learn portuguese and practice capoeira. Email or call us for more information on the exchange, accommodation and other ways in which we can help you.
