Five students from Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC) are participating in the Solar Decathlon Latin America and Caribbean 2019, a competition in which universities are invited to design and construct sustainable housing that works 100% with solar energy. This year’s event is taking place at the Universidad del Valle, in Cali, Colombia.

The UFSC students Gabriela Peglow Harthmann, Lucas Fernandes de Oliveira, Luís Henrique Pavan, Lorrany da Silva Mendes and Rodrigo Cruz Moraes are part of a Colombian/Brazilian team made up of students from Pontifícia Universidad Javeriana de Cali, Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina and Instituto Federal Catarinense. Their project is coordinated by Professor Iván Osuna, from Pontifícia Universidad Javeriana de Cali.

The team was working on a house next to Universidad Javeriana de Cali (Casa Isaza-Calle 17 # 121 b-80), and on 25 November their competing house was moved to Universidad del Valle, where the contests will take place until 17 December, the day they will return to Brazil.

The Study Buddy Program is a volunteer program in which UFSC students give guidance and assistance to incoming exchange students on how to proceed in their first days in Florianópolis and at UFSC. In return, it provides our regular students the opportunity to get in contact with students from foreign universities and cultures from all over the world.

This is a wonderful opportunity for you to have an exchange experience without going abroad, as well as to practice another language, get to know other cultures and make foreign friends at UFSC!

Deadline for applications is 9 December 2019.
