According to professor Edla, the partnership between PUCRS and Universidad Nacional de La Plata exists since 2009, in a relationship that led to several joint actions. Among the initiatives, UNLP professors Laura Rovali and Myriam Soutschewl have been to Brazil before in boards of PUCRS’s PPG in Education, in addition to having partnerships in the production of books and scientific papers.
“This experience of studying, meeting new people, showing what I research and seeing different places is, without a doubt, a unique moment. In this exchange experience, I visited the La Plata Museum, managed by UNLP, which provides a substantial investment for scientific and pedagogical development, through various activities for all ages,” she concluded.
