Passenger Project:
Ann Arbor/Rio de Janeiro
The
BSAG Passenger Project intends to strengthen the ties
between these two cities, so different and geographically
distant, yet both in their own way lovers of music,
art, culture and diversity.
We
offer an interchange project between these two cities
to provide both a cultural and learning experience
to visitors.
Ann
Arbor, Michigan, USA – It’s more than
a city, it’s an attitude!

It
will be a pleasure to have you as one of our Passengers
on a voyage of language learning , culture and fun.
Ann
Arbor
Located
in the state of Michigan, Ann Arbor offers a rich
cultural life. As a university town, it is both cosmopolitan
and dynamic, without being congested and ‘touristy’.
Cinemas,
bookstores, cafés, theaters, music –
the best of jazz, blues and pop.
This is a place conducive for students the world over
to trade experiences and knowledge.
Rio
de Janeiro
Rio
de Janeiro is famous for its natural beauty and the
friendly cheer of its people, but it is much more
than this!
For
those interested in music, art, history, Afro-Brazilian
and indigenous culture, candomblé, umbanda
and so many other rhythms, Rio is also the ideal place.

Lodging
In
Ann Arbor or in Rio, we offer simple but comfortable
lodging, reducing the cost of your stay. We provide
an agreeable environment and an opportunity not to
feel like a typical tourist, but rather like an honored
guest invited to participate in the daily life of
the city.

Becoming
a Passenger
All
Passengers will be interviewed to assess their language
level and specific interests, allowing all to take
maximum advantage of the project designed for them
during their stay.
Steps
for forming groups:
1
– A quick language level test of English (for
Brazilians going to Ann Arbor) or Portuguese (for
Americans going to Brazil)
2
– A short questionnaire on the interests of
each Passenger (music, theater, dance, sports activities,
museum visits, contact with teaching institutions,
study programs in areas of interest, etc). (download
the questionnaire)
For
unaccompanied students, the minimum age to participate
is:
-
Ann Arbor: 21 years
-
Rio de Janeiro: 18 years
Based
on this interview, we can prepare a customized program
for each Passengers.

your main objective is to learn English or Portuguese,
