3 Calling all individuals interested in global leadership and innovation, who have an international perspective and a willingness to build connections with Brazil. Program Overview Apply now for a month-long paid fellowship in Brazil. We are looking for strong fellowship candidates who have the drive and desire to thrive in the US-Brazil Connect Fellowship. This program links US Fellows and Brazilian high school students in a transformative cross-cultural learning experience. Selected Fellows prepare for and serve in a coaching and facilitation role designed to create a fun English immersion environment for Brazilian high school students. US Fellows build skills in global leadership, explore Brazil, and create life-changing relationships. US-Brazil Connect Fellows serve as ambassadors of the US and come from a wide range of educational backgrounds. On the ground in Brazil, Fellows receive lodging, meals, local transportation, and insurance coverage. Fellows are paid a stipend in exchange for their program leadership. Discover Your Future It s not study abroad, a tour, or typical travel to Brazil. It s a challenging and rewarding fellowship, providing a deep experience in the real world of global leadership. You do not need to speak Portuguese and you do not need to have teaching experience. You must be prepared to work hard, solve problems in unfamiliar surroundings, overcome cross-cultural and language barriers, and contribute to building a supportive community. You will gain: Knowledge and in-depth experience of Brazil: You learn about Brazil, the world s 7 th largest economy, through study prior to departure, intense interaction, a weekend workshop, and a 4-week immersion in Brazil. Learn and practice global leadership skills in action: You participate in a paid fellowship, serving as a coach, mentor, and facilitator to a group of Brazilian high school students who want practice and exposure to native speakers to improve their English. You receive support and training for your role as a tutor and coach. Online tutoring and coaching using Facebook and Google Hangout or Skype is for 8 weeks prior to travel and 8 weeks after your return. Travel to Brazil is during the summer of Precise dates will be determined by early January Immersion, global leadership, critical thinking, and problem-solving: True global leadership begins with direct experience of living, working and learning outside the United States. You will work and live in Brazil for a 4-week period of intense interaction and learning with Brazilian students. Previous individuals who have served as US-Brazil Connect Fellows report the experience does more than build skills and knowledge about Brazil it inspires leadership, character development, self-discovery and service. US-Brazil Connect Fellowship Information and Application 3

4 Connections, networks and community: You will build new networks, create relationships and see first-hand how global trends in innovation and technology are reshaping the world. The application process is designed to identify participants with high potential as authentic leaders, effective agents of change, problem-solvers, and dedicated team builders. Students from all disciplines are encouraged to apply. Outstanding Fellows in past years have come from a wide range of disciplines including computer science, engineering, education, communication, and pre-law. Why Brazil? Brazil is emerging as a key economic player globally. Ten years ago, economists identified four countries that were poised to emerge as major economic forces in the global economy: Brazil, Russia, India, and China. At the time, these BRIC countries were contributing 16% of the world s gross domestic product growth. Since the global crisis of 2008, this figure has soared to 45%. i Today, Brazil is the world s 7 th largest economy. Per-capita income is nearly twice that of China. Brazil s rise is expected to continue. The World Cup in 2014 and the 2016 Olympics are estimated to attract investments of roughly $550 billion between 2011 and 2014 ii. In 2007, oil deposits below a layer of salt in the Atlantic Ocean were confirmed to hold enough oil to turn Brazil into one of the world s top five crude oil producers. Most importantly, from 2003 to 2008, over 27 million people in this country of 200 million have moved from poverty into Brazil s high class. Due to the increasing purchasing power of a growing high class, Brazil is projected to become the fifth largest consumer market by 2030 when it will be worth over US$2.5 trillion, ahead of the UK and France. Brazil is already the world s third largest market for mobile phones, the fifth largest for vehicles and computers, and the eighth largest for higher education. Given the emerging role of Brazil as an economic power, a cultural leader, and a source of innovation and creativity, it is imperative that higher education institutions prepare students for meaningful engagement with Brazil. The US-Brazil Fellowship provides this specific, substantive experience for students in order to develop global leadership skills. Brazilian Partners US-Brazil Connect is supported by a very strong institutional partner in Brazil, the Confederation of Industry (CNI). The Confederation is the preeminent Brazilian business association, with over a thousand employer associations across all 26 states of Brazil, as well as more than 100,000 member organizations. Supported by a 2.5% payroll tax, the Confederation operates the SENAI and SESI education and training system which comprise the largest technical training network in Latin America, enrolling over 7 million students annually in 797 schools and technical institutes throughout Brazil. US-Brazil Connect Fellowship Information and Application 4

5 The CNI is investing in this partnership as a means to support education for technology students, thereby strengthening the Brazilian workforce to meet the demands of a rapidly growing economy. The implementation partners, SENAI and SESI, provide all the necessary coordination and logistical support on the Brazilian side. In addition, their support covers accommodation, food, local travel and a stipend for all US-Brazil Connect Fellows. What do US-Brazil Connect Fellows do? Participate in a rigorous Fellows-preparation program that combines online and in-person training. This program consists of a program orientation, 4 Saturday online training sessions and a Weekend Workshop, which will take place at your college or within driving distance. Training emphasis is on leadership development, teamwork, and skill development for facilitating English as a Second Language (ESL) activities and games. The preparation period also examines Brazilian culture, growth and prepares Fellows for travel to Brazil. Serve as an online tutor and coach to support Brazilian students English language learning. You are required to spend four hours per week online with your students, either via Facebook, Google Hangout or Skype. This is for the 8 weeks prior to travel to Brazil. US- Brazil Connect provides support and guidance for this online engagement with students. Travel to Brazil for a 4-week paid fellowship. Dates are during summer 2014 and will be confirmed in January In Brazil, US-Brazil Connect Fellows interact with their high school-aged Brazilian students 4 to 6 hours per day, leading project-based groups, facilitating interaction of small groups, and working as a collaborative team member with other Fellows and the team leadership. The experience in Brazil is intense and challenging. All participants should expect a full and demanding schedule during their time in Brazil Return from Brazil and continue online communication and support of Brazilian students. Again, this commitment is for four hours weekly for an 8-week period. Upon your return, you will also give back to your college or community through speaking, writing or other service. What are the benefits and costs for US-Brazil Connect Fellows? Fellowship Benefits: This Fellowship program offers many resources to selected Fellows. Benefits include: o Stipends: Fellows earn a stipend of $500-$600 (depends on exchange rate) for their work with the students. o In-Country Resources: The program hosts, the Brazilian Confederation of Industry/SESI/SENAI, support Fellows by providing Free local accommodations at a hotel, all meals, local transportation, and health insurance for the 4 weeks in Brazil. The estimated value of these resources is $7,000-$8,000. Costs: Fellows are responsible for the cost of their international flight to Brazil and obtaining a visa. Additionally, fellows may also incur personal costs, such as choosing to eat out in restaurants, souvenirs/gifts, weekend excursions, etc. With the World Cup in 2014, flight US-Brazil Connect Fellowship Information and Application 5
