Mission

In an increasingly individualistic society, a group of friends came together in 2022 and created a non-profit organization that inspires those who want to Ser Mudança.

We believe that change starts within each of us, occurs throughout our lives, and requires a great deal of courage. We also believe that change is the only constant in life, which is why we aim to be a community that welcomes those who want to be the change. Focused on human development, Ser Mudança undertakes projects that promote individual transformations in areas such as non-formal education, culture, psychosocial well-being, environment, and human rights. We also strive to create an extended community of changemakers who develop creative and cross-cutting solutions to address the identified challenges within their spheres of action.
