The International Virtual Mobility Program "Destination: Brazil" is an ANDIFES initiative, through the College of Managers of International Relations of the Federal Brazilian HEIs (CGRIFES), aiming to offer courses in foreign languages and promote Brazilian Federal Education abroad, besides disseminating aspects of Brazilian culture internationally.


UFOP holds the Program through a partnership between the International Relations Office (DRI/UFOP) and the Vice-Rectory for Culture and Extension (PROEX/UFOP).  This partnership aims to expand the intercultural dialogue and the institutions' visibility, as well as, to encourage the internationalization of extension. By UFOP's participation in the Program, the whole university community had the opportunity to access the 103 courses offered by 42 Brazilian Institutions of Higher Education between July and August. The complete catalog of the "Destination: Brazil" Program is available on the Program's website and on DRI’s webpage.
