“When we talk about a solid formation, we talk about a formation both at the level of curriculum knowledgebut also of the socioemotional skills needed for him to be a leader, to know how to listen, to work in groups… (…),so that he can live together and create. I think this is a fundamental aspect nowadays for the process of learning and the construction of the human being.”

Ana Selva, Executive Secretary for Education Development of the State of Pernambuco

“I really think the essence is precisely this.To prepare this new generation for a life in which cooperation and not competitiveness are the most important.”

Lisandra Ruas Alves, mother of a student of the National College – Uberlândia/MG

“I believe in an innovative education that goes beyond the traditional disciplines and, above all, prepares the students, educating them to the challenges of life. Mind Lab brought this possibility in an organized, current, interactive and motivating way. I feel that the role of the school gains more relevance in the life of the student when he learns to better evaluate the decision making, to control impulsivity or investigate a necessity. I understand that we have taken a step forward with the adoption of the MenteInovadora Program at the College Darwin.”

Marcelo Paz – Director, Darwin College

“The MenteInovadora Program has only what to add in the classroom, since the thinking games are very enjoyable. Children learn by playing and, through what we develop in these classes, a ‘good morning’, ‘good afternoon’, one greet each other, we know that they are taking these learnings out of the classroom.”

Cristiane Helena dos Santos da Silva, Teacher of the Elementary School – Municipal School Josélia Florência

“I have one more message for the parents, since I got involved with the menteinovadora and started working with menteinovadora, I today in my research, I am always reasoning and thinking exactly what method of reasoning I am using what I learned from the menteinovadora. Today if my child was in school age I would demand that his school had the MenteInovadora…”

Ricardo Paes de Barros

“We learn by playing how to work on a day-to-day basis and exposing our personal experiences without worrying about any judgment. In the game “Treasure Island”, for example, we have to evaluate from the end to the beginning, as in our personal lives, where we should think before taking decisions and bear the consequences of our actions.”
