Please also note that you are required to attend both days of the event and must have completed Level 1 of THE CAP. If you are not able to meet these requirements, we kindly request you do not apply so another counsellor can attend.
Accommodation
Approved counsellors will receive one night of deluxe hotel accommodation on a shared twin-room basis between Tuesday 1 April to Wednesday 2 April 2025 at the Hotel Meliá Paulista in São Paulo. Buffet breakfast is included.
Please note that there are a limited number of hotel rooms available, and they are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. We therefore cannot guarantee rooms to counsellors applying after 15 December 2024 but all approved counsellors from outside São Paulo will be guaranteed a room as long as you apply by the deadline.
Early registration is therefore recommended as there are a limited number of places in the event. Please note that If two counsellors from the same school are approved to participate, they must share the same room.
Hotel Check-in: 1 April 2025
Hotel Check-out: 2 April 2025
Networking Cocktail Reception and Dinner
The Cocktail Reception and Dinner is an important aspect of the event and will take place on the evening of Tuesday 1 April 2025. This is the perfect opportunity to meet other counsellors from across Brazil as well as the participating international education institutions in a relaxed environment. Attendance is mandatory for all participants.
In just two days, you will:
- Meet experienced representatives from International Universities who have been flown into São Paulo by BMI/THE specifically for this event, as well as fellow counsellors from across the region.
- Receive the latest updates on undergraduate admissions criteria and application procedures to International Universities.
- Participate in a series of world-class professional development sessions as part of the Times Higher Education Counsellor Accreditation Programme (THE CAP).
The Brazil International Schools Forum & Workshop is therefore a must-attend event for gathering new insights on international education, enhancing the way you support students applying overseas, and staying up-to-date on undergraduate admissions.
