Experience your world > Brazil

Present day Brazil is a thriving cultural haven for sports enthusiasts, followers of arts, style and fine food. Brazil is one of the world’s most musical countries and is well known for having invented the Samba and Bossa Nova. The annual culmination of the exuberance of Brazilian life is “Carnival,” the biggest festivity among the Brazilian people.

The many wonders, delights and socially-oriented lifestyle of the Brazilians come alive to students who join a Southern Cross Cultural Exchange program to Brazil. These programs are designed to expose students to the rich heritage, open and giving people and lush landscapes of the South American treasure.

Exchange students are placed in schools that pride themselves in academic excellence, arts and sport. These students come to understand Brazil through observation of its history, modern lifestyle, human and ecological issues. Family life is of great importance to Brazilians, and the host families become friends and guides through a country whose people are stated as possessing a “symphony of colours.”

She has had an experience of a lifetime with the most loving and generous family anyone could imagine. She left Australia not knowing one word of Portuguese and now speaks Portuguese fluently. I sincerely thank S.C.C.E. for making this possible. From the mother of Zena Jolly from Katanning, W.A. to Vitoria, Brazil

My family is fantastic and really easy to get along with. They’re helping me to learn Portuguese. In just over a month since I arrived I have done so many things. School is VERY different! We start at 7.10am, but finish at 12.30. Lunch is the main meal of the day and there is always a smorgasbord of food waiting on the table when I get home. Justin Halik from Greensborough, Vic. to Salvador, Brazil

Just a note to say that I’m having the most terrific time here in Brazil. My Portuguese after 4 months is now really good and I never speak English anymore, I’m scared I’m going to forget English before I come back! The time is going so quickly...My family here is the best. I’m particularly close to one of my sisters, and it feels as though I’ve known her all my life. School’s almost finished for the year which is a bit sad because I have so much fun at school. During recess, everyone gets up and dances. The lifestyle here is so relaxed, at the moment I don’t know how I’ll ever leave...I’d recommend Brazil to anyone, it’s the best. Sarah Hunter from Hawthorn, Vic. to Capuchineros, Brazil
