Amazônia 360: Sustainability & Community in the Brazilian Rainforest

14-24 JULY 2025

UWC Amazonia 360 is a transformative 11-day short course in Manaus and the Tumbira community of Rio Negro, Brazil. Designed for young changemakers aged 15 to 17, the course delves into sustainability, the history of the region and its people, and the deep connections between humans and the environment.

Using deep dialogue and restorative justice, participants will explore their place in the world, engage in social justice discussions, and take action on contemporary environmental challenges in the Amazon.

What to Expect

Participants will experience six key pillars of UWC short courses:

• Social Awareness – Understanding the complexities of sustainability in the Amazon.
• Personal Development – Exploring identity and self-reflection.
• Outdoor Learning – Immersive nature experiences in one of the most biodiverse places on Earth.
• Active Participation & Service – Collaborating with local communities on sustainability projects.

The program includes three core themes:

1. Me & the World: Environmental sustainability, activism, and Amazonian ecosystems.
2. Who Am I?: Identity, positionality, and historical narratives of the region.
3.  Me & the Other: Learning from local leaders, engaging in community dialogue, and giving back.
