Florianópolis offers the comfort of a developed urban center whilst maintaining its intimate contact with nature. Sea, hill-sides and more than 42 beaches all make this wonderfully conserved scenery. FLORIANÓPOLIS, BRAZIL

Most of the city lies on the long slender Santa Catarina island, which is 54 km long and 18 km wide. The city's population is almost 600,000 residents. Tourism forms the basis of the local economy. FLORIANÓPOLIS, BRAZIL

Imagine is a solidarity project, aimed to scientific inclusion and cultural exchange. UFSC and their partners will bring elementary scientific knowledge and conceptions to isolated communities in Brazil and in partners countries (Angola, Marrocos, Mexico, Peru). As a long term goal, with Imagine we intend to contribute for arising scientific curiosity and peoples friendship, promoting a better understanding (and, therefore, acceptance) of differences and similarities among individuals, ethnic groups, peoples and cultures.
