​3) AFTER-SCHOOL PROGRAMS 
4) WE HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH SAN DIEGO UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT AS TEACHING ARTISTS  - These programs enhance the interest for arts making, self expression, creativity, social skills, taking care of the environment, and multicultural awareness. Get in touch if you work in a school which is looking for Brazilian activities - Capoeira, music, dances, games, even environmental awareness - to include in the regular curriculum or for an after-school program. Claudia Lyra has been going to schools since 2006 to implement the subjects taught in-class as well as at after-school programs so the children find more motivation to be in school. Check Arts for Learning and/or Center for World Music if you need a non-profit organization to have these arts programs in your school.
