FGV Rio students engage in Enactus National Competition

The 2014 Enactus Brazil National Competition will be held on July 17th and 18th in São Paulo, and will gather 48 teams from more than thirty Brazilian institutions, granting a remarkable opportunity for Brazilian teams to show how their projects contribute to advance local development. The event occurs simultaneously in 36 countries. The winning team will represent Brazil at the 2014 Enactus World Cup, which will take place in October, in Beijing, China. 

 

Enactus is a non-profit organization that counts on more than 66.000 students and 1.600 colleges worldwide. 

 

The FGV Rio Enactus Team was created in September, 2011 and includes 17 students from FGV’s Schools (Direito Rio, EMAP, EPGE, EBAPE, and CPDOC); the initiative aims to promote equal opportunities in local communities, through educational projects focused primarily on actions that may foster sustainable entrepreneurship. The current president of the Rio team, Vinícius Ramos Almeida, is an undergraduate student from EPGE.
