Dear donor,
We are reaching out to update you on the recent developments within the nÓs Group since our last report. Our ongoing commitment involves working with teenagers, striving to provide new experiences and broaden the horizons of all those associated with the nÓs Group.
On September 23, we delved into the theme of professionalization. The nÓs Group technicians conducted activities focused on identity and careers. It became a period of self-discovery and professional revelations. Phrases such as "Does this profession truly align with my interests?" and "I wouldn't fancy working in this field, but I resonate more with that profession" echoed from the group during the activity. The emphasis on self-awareness and a broader skill set opens up avenues for contemplating a future with increased possibilities.
In the same month, we explored the realms of communication and the job market, incorporating dynamic sessions and valuable tips to equip young individuals for selection processes and acquaint them with corporate dynamics.
Moving into October, we hosted the eagerly anticipated 2nd nÓs Group Careers Fair! Meticulously organized with love (and a touch of sweat!) by the entire program team and the Instituto Fazendo História, the event garnered enthusiastic participation from volunteers. They not only provided organizational support but also shared their professional and life experiences with the teenagers.
The morning featured a round table discussion on youth and the world of work, with the presence of young individuals who have been part of the nÓs Group, a representative from the Ubuntu Network for popular education, and another from Juventudes Potentes. Their heartfelt speeches delved into the challenges each of them has faced in their professional journeys. In the afternoon, the professionals' tour allowed teenagers to exchange ideas and pose questions about professions that piqued their interest, concluding with a lively gift raffle for actively engaged participants. The event was a resounding success!
As part of our activity schedule in November, the Espaço Brumália team engaged with young people aged 17 to 19, conducting Professional and Career Guidance activities. These sessions, expressed through drawings and colors, aimed to help individuals reflect on their career and professional choices, encouraging more conscious and realistic decisions.
As November marked the close of the year, we conducted a retrospective of 2023. Teens had the opportunity to discuss what they observed and express their aspirations concerning the nÓs Group pillars: work, home ownership, conscious use of money, professionalization, citizenship, and identity. This evaluation is crucial for shaping our collective activities in 2024.
To culminate the year on a high note, we were once again honored in December with the Human Rights and Diversity Award from São Paulo City Hall, specifically in the Youth category.
We are excited to share the link to the video of the 2nd Professions Fair organized by the nÓs Group. It is a powerful and essential event that aims to inspire courage and dreams among the young people assisted by the nÓs Group of the Making History Institute.

In retrospect, the final moments of the past year were embraced with heartfelt gratitude for the challenges overcome, leaving us with treasured memories. As we step into this new year, 2024, may it be filled to the brim with fresh aspirations, exciting plans, and enriching encounters.
We extend our wishes for a year filled with abundant goodness and happiness.
Until we meet again,
Instituto Fazendo História Team
