About the Institute

The Vini Jr. Institute is the realization of the dream of the player Vini Jr., his family and team, to contribute to the transformation of Brazilian public education. It works within schools, using education as a basis, soccer as a language and technology and body movement as learning tools.

From this combination, the Institute develops actions to train teachers, pedagogical innovation, anti-racist education and valuing the school community, strengthening the protagonism of students and educators.

Mission

To support public schools with new teaching models that integrate technology and sport, strengthening teachers and valuing young people.

Vision

To contribute to SDG 4 (Quality Education) and, by 2030, be recognized as one of the leading agents in reducing educational inequalities in Brazil.

Beliefs

Social innovation requires diversity and collaboration; education is the basis for equality; technology transforms when used well; and sport has the power to change.

What we do

Educational software referenced by the Common National Curriculum Base (BNCC), which uses the language and fascination of soccer to attract students and thus contribute to the teaching-learning process.

An innovation hub in public schools, with a soccer-inspired environment, offering infrastructure, methodologies, and training in a playful and dynamic space, promoting new teaching and learning experiences.

Data intelligence platform that enables the pedagogical teams of partner schools and the Institute to monitor the use of the Base App, as well as students’ performance and engagement — supporting actions and decision-making.

Moviment and
Learning - Mov.A

Movement and Learning (Mov.A) is an innovative way of using soccer movements as great allies in the teaching-learning process in public schools. In practice, the Institute created the Mov.A Kit, which brings together teaching resources, sports materials and activity sheets referenced by the BNCC.

Anti-racist Education

Our work is focused on the grassroots, operating directly in public schools, with frequent Anti-Racist Education Workshops for teachers, who multiply the anti-racist message and strengthen a conscious and active educational foundation. We are empowering teachers and students day by day, preparing them for a more diverse, respectful and racism-free future.
