In 2003 the Bunge Foundation launched ReciCriar- pedagogy of the possible, starting to cooperate with the training of educators from several regions of the country, by multiplying the richness of the teachers’ experience into a route in which they are agents of changes pushing the improvement in the educational process where they cross, exchanging experiences and contributing to the development of creative and innovative projects at the schools.
