Salvador, Brazil - July 2024 - With colourful flags and shouts of encouragement, the Salesian High School in Salvador held its cultural gymkhana from 18 to 20 July, involving more than 350 students from sixth to ninth grade, together with their teachers. As part of the event, they engaged in a series of challenges that mixed fun and learning, with playful tests based on the knowledge gained in language, mathematics, humanities, natural sciences and religious education classes. In addition to the races, the gymkhana promoted solidarity. Teams collected food for charities, donating a total of 3 tonnes and 220 kilos. Events such as the cultural gymkhana, which go beyond fun, are important for the social motivation and all-round development of the students, and reinforce the values of empathy and empowerment of children.
