• Imagine is a solidarity project, aimed to scientific inclusion and cultural exchange. UFSC and their partners will bring elementary scientific knowledge and conceptions to isolated communities in Brazil and in partners countries (Angola, Marrocos, Mexico, Peru).

• As a long term goal, with Imagine we intend to contribute for arising scientific curiosity and peoples friendship, promoting a better understanding (and, therefore, acceptance) of differences and similarities among individuals, ethnic groups, peoples and cultures.
