The foundation, established in the University of Brasilia (UNB), aims to promote and support scientific and technological development, transfer technology, research and master programs. With the support of the BrazilFoundation, the “Recycling Paper and Lives” project was created to reintegrate former prisoners into the formal labor market, training them in paper-making, binding and the cleaning of books and records. The participants also received psychosocial counseling.
