The maestro and the transformation through music
We believe in culture as a powerful tool for social transformation, capable of generating a positive impact that can be reverberated for generations. The maestro of Orquestra Vale Música in Pará, Brazil, Renan Cardoso, is a great example of this. Renan, who joined Vale Música as a student at the age of 8, today has his profession in art and works on the project helping young people, as he once was, to find and follow their own path. Watch the first episode of the series “Transform Together” about Vale Cultural Institute.

The teacher and the rescue of historical heritage
Preserving history is part of building a better future. In Ouro Preto, a historic municipality in Minas Gerais, teacher Reinaldo Urzedo takes this and many other lessons learned to the students of the Escola de Ofícios Tradicionais de Mariana, one of the projects supported by Vale Cultural Institute in Brazil. Through masonry classes, the art of molding stones to insert into buildings, Reinaldo teaches his students the importance of historical memory and helps to train professionals capable of conserving the rich architectural heritage of Minas Gerais.
The curator and the encouragement of popular culture
In Maranhão, Brazil, culture pulsates in every corner. Far beyond the Historic Center of São Luís, the most beautiful artistic and cultural manifestations are spread among the peripheries. In this scenario, the work of Deyla Rabelo, assistant director of the Vale Cultural Center Maranhão, is to help to make these manifestations known and valued, so that people recognize the art of Maranhão – and who builds it – through other perspectives
