The Educational Territories is an initiative of the Vale Foundation, in partnership with Cidade Escola Aprendiz, which seeks to develop actions for social protection and integral development of children and teenagers in situations of violation of rights through the provision of educational opportunities and individualized and permanent psychosocial care, with the objective of combating the processes that lead to school exclusion.

With the support of The Knowledge Station, the project offers pedagogical follow-up to children and adolescents to carry out school activities, articulating schools and the municipal and state education network in the city of Marabá, Pará.

The Health Cycle Program contributes with complementary actions to those developed by the municipalities, with a focus on strengthening Primary Care and through technical cooperation for the qualification of Family Health Strategy (ESF) teams in topics related to attention, prevention, and health promotion. In partnership with the Center for Health Promotion (CEDAPS) and the municipal secretariats, the initiative also includes the supply of instruments and furniture that help improve diagnosis and clinical practice, which leads to improved care and compliance with the right to health in the territories.

The Inova Up Program was inspired by the merger of the programs of the Entrepreneurship Center of the Amazon with the AGIR (Income Generation Support) Program to train young entrepreneurs with a focus on sustainability and guide some of these young people to the opening of their companies monitoring their performance for the first quarter of operation.
