An Ecosystem of Inclusion is Born: From Turma do Jiló to Grupo TJ
Turma do Jiló began its journey in public schools, bringing inclusive education and diversity to places where these topics were scarce. Over time, the demand for its projects grew, encompassing schools, businesses, and communities, developing experiences and training for an entire ecosystem.
This expansion led to the creation of Grupo TJ, a structure designed to broaden the reach of their actions. Grupo TJ is divided into two fronts: Turma do Jiló, focused on learning spaces, and Todos Juntos, dedicated to corporate spaces. Together, they form a powerful ecosystem capable of impacting and transforming lives across Brazil.
The Innovative Model: Double Social Impact in Action
The impact generated by Grupo TJ is not linear; it is circular and self-sustaining. It works like this: when a company hires Todos Juntos for an ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) project or a private school seeks Turma do Jiló for an inclusive education project, all profits earned are reinvested into Turma do Jiló's free social programs. This is what they call double social impact.
This cycle feeds itself: more inclusion generates more impact, which in turn generates more inclusion. In other words, those who hire them not only transform their own organization but also fund projects that change lives nationwide. It's a partnership where “everyone wins, and no one is left behind.”
Life-Changing Projects: Discover Grupo TJ's Initiatives
Grupo TJ develops various initiatives that reach diverse audiences and specific needs:
- PEI (Inclusive Education Program): Trains teachers in public schools to handle diversity in the classroom, ensuring all children can complete proposed activities, adjusting the difficulty level as needed.
- Finanças na Quebrada (Finance in the Hood): Teaches young people in underserved communities to manage their money, promoting financial literacy and autonomy.
- Social Impact Project at Fundação Casa: Promotes accessibility and inclusion within the socio-educational system.
- Lacre Essa Ideia (Seal This Idea): An initiative that promotes accessibility.
- Voluntariado Jovem (Youth Volunteering): Engages students in social actions, providing meaningful experiences and community interaction, such as visiting the elderly, where life stories are shared.
- Mulheres no Topo (Women at the Top): Empowers female leaders, with a focus on including atypical mothers in the job market, through events and conferences that give voice to their professional journeys and ventures.
Testimonials from project participants underscore the initiative's value. A participant from Finanças na Quebrada (Finance in the Hood) emphasizes the importance of access to financial literacy for everyone. A teacher recounts how the PEI training helped her foster real and differentiated inclusion in the classroom. Meanwhile, atypical mothers express gratitude for projects that embrace them and help them build a world where they feel more belonging.
