About Campinas

Campinas is a Brazilian city of Sao Paulo State, in the country's Southeast Region. Campinas means "grass fields" in Portuguese and refers to its characteristic landscape, which originally comprised large stretches of dense subtropical forests, mainly along the many rivers, interspersed with gently rolling hills covered by low-lying vegetation.

The city was founded on July 14, 1774, by Barreto Leme, initially as a simple outpost serving the "Bandeirantes" who were in search of precious minerals and Indian slaves. In the first half of the 19th century, Campinas became a growing population center, with many coffee, cotton and sugarcane farms. The construction of a railway linking the city to Sao Paulo and the costal city of Santos' seaport, in 1867, was very important for its growth. In the second half of the 19th century, with the abolition of slavery, farming and industrialization attracted many foreign immigrants to replace the lost manpower, mainly from Italy.

As of 2010, Campinas became an official metropolitan region, with 19 municipalities. The area of the city, according to the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics, is 494 miles.

Brazilian History

The history of Brazil arguably starts with Indigenous Peoples of the Americas, who arrived thousands of years ago by crossing the Bering land bridge into Alaska and then moving south. The Andes and the mountain ranges of northern South America created a rather sharp cultural boundary between the settled agrarian civilizations of the west coast and the semi-nomadic tribes of the east, who never developed written records or permanent monumental architecture. For this reason, very little is known about the history of Brazil before 1500.

The European first to explore Brazil was Pedro Alvares Cabral on April 22, 1500 under the sponsorship of Portugal. At the time of European discovery, the territory of current day Brazil had as many as 2,000 tribes. The indigenous peoples were traditionally mostly semi-nomadic tribes who subsisted on hunting, fishing, gathering, and migrant agriculture. When the Portuguese arrived in 1500, the Natives were living mainly on the coast and along the banks of major rivers. Initially, the Europeans saw the natives as noble savages, and miscegenation of the population began right away.

http://www.historytoday.com/sites/default/files/Brazil-16-map.jpg

From the 16th to the 19th centuries, Brazil was a colony of Portugal. On September 7, 1822, the country declared its independence from Portugal and became a constitutional monarchy, the Empire of Brazil. During the first two centuries of the colonial period, attracted by the vast natural resources and untapped land, other European powers tried to establish colonies in several parts of Brazilian territory.

A military coup in 1889 established a republican government. The country has seen a dictatorship (1930-1934 and 1937-1945) and a period of military rule (1964-1985).

The civilians fully returned to power in 1985 when José Sarney assumed the presidency.

Economy

Campinas is the 10th richest city in Brazil, representing 0.96% of all Brazilian GDP. The region hosts more than 10,000 medium and large companies. The city is also an important and diverse shopping center, with two of the largest shopping malls in the country: The Iguatemi Campinas and Shopping Parque Dom Pedro.

Campinas' major economic activities are agriculture, industry, and commerce. Agriculture consists mainly of coffee, sugarcane, and cotton. Industry consists of textiles, motorcycles, cars, machinery, agricultural equipment, food and beverages, chemicals and petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, paper and telecommunications, computers and electronics.

The Campinas Metropolitan Region is home to many national and international high-tech industries, including IBM, Dell, Motorola, Compaq, Samsung, Alcatel, Bosch, 3M, and Texas Instruments. The automotive industry is also heavily represented: General Motors, Mercedes-Benz, Honda, Toyota and many others are present.

Campinas also has a sizable pharmaceutical industry sector, with companies like Medley Farma, EMS Farma, Altana, and Merck Sharp and Dohme. In addition the region is home to many research centers and universities. According to the Times Higher Education 2007 World University Rankings, the University of Campinas (Unicamp) is the 177th best university in the world, and the 2nd best in Latin America.

Campinas also boasts the largest number of high-tech industrial parks. Examples of Campinas-bred technologies are fiber optics, lasers for telecommunications and medical applications, integrated circuits design and fabrication, satellite environmental monitoring of natural resources, software for agriculture, digital telephone switches, deep-water oil exploration platforms and technologies, biomedical equipment, medical software, genetic engineering and recombinant DNA technologies for food production and pharmaceutics, and food engineering. Because of this, Campinas has been called the Brazilian Silicon Valley.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:AvenidaNorteSulCampinas.jpg


Socio-Economic Conditions

Despite Campinas' position of wealth and social and economic opportunity compared to the rest of the country, the average per capita income of Campinas families is little more than US$ 17,700 per year. Campinas is emblematic of the wealth distribution inequality that is so common in the country: Brazil is the 9th largest economy in the world, but ranks only 32nd in wealth generation per capita, and 117th in average inequality. Campinas has an inequality measure that is roughly the same as that of Brazil as a whole. This level of inequality is similar to that of Zimbabwe and Paraguay.

Such a level means that the top 10% make almost 70 times more than the poorest 10% of people.This level of poverty contrasts with the high Human Development Index of Campinas, The explanation for this apparent contradiction is that side by side, even in the same city section, one can find walled condominiums with a yearly average per capita income of US$ 60,000 to US$ 100,000 and spreading "favelas" (slum cities) with incomes of less than US$800 per year.

Until the late 1970s, Campinas was proud to have no favelas, but the increasing industrialization and wealth attracted hordes of destitute agrarian workers and urban dwellers with few job qualifications from all parts of the country. Land invasions were frequent and the municipal powers were unable or unwilling to suppress them, allowing illegal occupation of land in key sectors of the city.

School in Campinas

Education in Brazil is regulated by the Federal Government, through the Ministry of Education, which defines the guiding principles for the organization of education programs. Local governments are responsible for establishing state and education programs following the guidelines and using the funding supplied by the federal government.

Education is divided into three levels, with several grades in each level. Fundamental education is free for everyone (including adults), and mandatory for children between the ages of 6-14. Middle education is also free, but not mandatory. Higher education (including graduate degrees) is free at public universities.

Pre-school education is entirely optional, and exists to aid in the development of children under 6. It aims to assist in all areas of child development, including motor skills, cognitive skills, and social skills while providing fertile ground for the later acquisition of knowledge and learning. There are day nurseries for children under 2, kindergartens for 2-3 year olds, and preschools for children 4 and up. Public pre-schools are provided by city government.

Portuguese is the official language of Brazil, and is spoken by more than 99% of the population. Minority languages include indigenous languages, and languages of more recent European and Asian immigrants. The population speaks or signs approximately 210 languages, of which 180 are indigenous.

Language is one of the strongest elements of Brazil's national unity. The only non-Portuguese speakers are members of Amerindian groups, and pockets of immigrants who maintain their heritage languages. Within Brazil, there is no major dialect variation of the Portuguese, but only moderate regional variation in accent, vocabulary, and use of personal nouns, pronouns, and verb conjugations. Variations are diminishing as a result of mass media, especially national television networks that are viewed by the majority of Brazilians.


Sports

Football (Soccer)Campinas is home to two football clubs nationally recognized: Associacao Atlletica Ponte Preta and Guarani Futebol Clube. These two clubs compete in the "Campineiro derby" match that is considered one of the greatest traditions of the state, occurring since 1912. There is also Red Bull Brasl, which was created in November 2007 and lately has gained significant prominence. Women's football also has been outstanding, albeit amateur.

Other SportsIn tennis there is the Tennis Club of Campinas (CBT), which was created in 1913, offering, in addition to the blocks of the sport, swimming pools, courts for basketball and soccer, as well as rooms suitable for the practice of judo, gymnastics and dance. Club de Regatas Campineiro and Swim (CCRN) also provides space for the practice of various types of Olympic sports.

VenuesThe city also has three major venues: Estadio Brinco de Ouro da Princesa, which opened in 1953 and today has a capacity of around 30,000 people, the Sport and Recreation Centre in Campinas Dr. Horacio Antonio da Costa, which opened in 1940, and the Estadio Moises Lucarelli, which was founded in 1948 and has a capacity of almost 20 thousand visitors.

Brazilian Cuisine

Brazilian cooking, while it has many similarities with that of its South American neighbors, is distinct. Stretching from the Amazon in the north, through the fertile plantations of the central coast and on to the southern pampas, the food of Brazil spans a unique mix of cultures and cuisines.

The original population contributed popular ingredients like cassava and guarana. African slaves influenced the cuisine of the coastal states, especially Bahia. And around the country, a Portuguese heritage is reflected in a variety of dishes.

Root vegetables such as cassava, yams, and peanuts,and fruit like acai, mango, papaya, guava, orange, passionfruit, pineapple, and plum are among the local ingredients used in cooking. Brazilian pine nuts grow in a tree that is abundant in the southern part of Brazil, and are a popular national snack, as well as a lucrative export. Rice and beans are an extremely common dish, as are fish, beef and pork.

6. Cut the carne seca into 1/2 inch pieces and return it to the beans. Continue cooking the beans for 20 minutes more, or until tender.

7. Cube or slice meats into bite-sized pieces. Arrange the sliced chorizo, pork shoulder, bacon, fresh pork, and beef on one side of a large heated platter and place the beans on the other side. Serve hot, accompanied by green vegetables, cooked white rice ,and orange segments.

Carnival

Carnival, Carnaval, is a great festival held forty-six days before Easter. Carnival has roots in the pagan festival of Saturnalia, which, adapted to Christianity, became a farewell to bad things in a season of religious discipline to practice repentance.

Rhythm, participation, and costumes vary from one region of Brazil to another. In the southeastern cities, huge organized parades are led by samba schools. Those official parades are meant to be watched by the public, while minor parades allowing public participation can be found in other cities.

Carnival is also influenced by African-Brazilian culture. It's a six-day party where crowds dance and sing through the city streets. Carnival is the most famous holiday in Brazil.

Make Your Own Carnival Mask

Supplies

Foam board Carnival Mask Template String or yarn Feathers Fake jewels, sequins, or rhinestones Scissors Glue

Directions

1. Trace the template onto a piece of foam board and cut out. 2. Measure out a piece of string or yarn to fit around the head and then cut it in half.

Make a slit on each side of the mask by the eyes and tie on a piece of string in each hole.

3. Decorate your mask with embellishments. We glued feathers on the top and adding a fake jewel in the middle. You could also use sequins and glitter glue, be creative!

At the annual Carnival in Brazil you will see costumes that incorporate a lot of feathers. Feathers show the African influence at the Carnival, where some very elaborate costumes resemble colorful tribal headdresses.

Make a Tambourine

Brazilian TambourineUse metal bottle caps to make a special type of tambourine popular in Brazil.

Adults should help kids flatten bottle caps on a hard surface with a hammer and use a nail to poke a hole through the center of each cap.

Children can string between 10 and 15 bottle caps onto a wire. Tie the ends together.

Kids can decorate these tambourines by creating patterns on them with markers or acrylic paint. They can play their completed tambourines while they listen to Brazilian music.
