by Marcio Siwi

INFORMATION SESSION ON SUMMER OPPORTUNITIES IN BRAZIL 4:30pm TODAY - Tuesday, February 3, 2009 DRCLAS Resource Room (CGIS S-216) - 1730 Cambridge St. - PUBLIC POLICY IMMERSION PROGRAM (PPIP): The DRCLAS Summer Internship Program in Brazil Ten Harvard students will be selected to participate in a 9-week intensive program from June 1 to August 4 targeted at gaining hands-on experience in a policy-focused internship with some of Brazil?s leading institutions in São Paulo. Students will apply problem-solving and policy research skills based on participation in substantive internships in education, public health, and public policy. Students will also travel to Brasília for discussions with key Brazilian leaders, as well as to understand the functioning of the policy-making process in an international context. PPIP is distinct from a traditional summer internship in that it emphasizes applied policy work that requires students to participate in structured activities that are designed to complement the time spent on-site in the organization. http://www.drclas.harvard.edu/brazil/student/ppip - LEARN PORTUGUESE & STUDY ABROAD: Harvard Summer Program in Rio de Janeiro: Brazilian Culture and Portuguese Language Rio de Janeiro is an intriguing center for art, theater, music, exhibitions, street performances, international conferences, and cultural and social debates.
