Guest Speakers

Portugal - Madeira

Within the scope of the Skin Deep Project we asked Licínia Macedo, former Miss Portugal and now a well known TV-show presenter in our country, to share her life experience with our students, so that they would be given the opportunity to broaden their culture and their knowledge of what it means to be a model.

We didn't video the whole presentation since it lasted about an hour, but you can check out the Q&A part below.

So as to capitalize on our teachers' know how, we asked one of our Art teachers, Alexandrina Canha, to provide a one hour, hands on workshop, for some of the members of the "Associação Olho-Te"- A non profit organization which aims to help the dwellers of Nazaré - a social housing neighbourhood, near our school - to have a better view of their own neighbourhood, through the introduction of various artistic techniques. 

Alexandrina was kind enough to accept our request and gave them the opportunity to learn a bit more about how to apply makeup. The idea was to give them the tools to be able to feel better about themselves, by teaching them some simple makeup techniques.

We also asked Luís Vasconcelos and Alexandrina Canha (Art teachers in our school) to create a presentation on the "Evolution of the concept of beauty", so as to help our students become aware of the changes that concept has suffered throughout history.
