Carnival! In Brazil, the people live year-round to enjoy one - special - week! However, Ritmo do Mar is a thematic carnival that promote a social intervention based on cultural, ethical and sustainability values. During school period, workshops are also proposed In to several schools from Rio Grande in a long-term cycle of activities of environmental education, music education (divided in the making of instruments and percussion), artistic education and physical education, culminating in the many parades for each school. We organized workshops for orphanages and educational centers from various locations in the city of Rio Grande  to make instruments and others props such as flags and costumes using recicled materials (debris, paper and natural glue).For allegories and props, children making and painting their allegories using recycled carapaces as a simple and inexpensive method for replicating allegories. Each participant makes his custom (a turtle carapace) with papier mache and paints, his instruments with cans or bottles for the many special parades.

Volunteers do not need special equipment or Portuguese as fluency. Although it can help, the children's contact with new languages ​​and new forms of communication, such as art and music, make the experiences for both very special.
