Empowering young people to see possibilities beyond their limitations through storytelling, creativity, education, and transformative conversations.
I am passionate about building platforms
where ideas can thrive, voices can be heard, and people can feel inspired to become better versions of themselves. I strongly believe that one idea, one conversation, or one opportunity
can completely change the direction of someone’s life. There’s so much to BECOME

Hugo Afonso de Carvalho
Uberlândia , Brazil
I am deeply committed to fostering meaningful connections—with people, ideas, and the environments to which I belong. I firmly believe that transformation begins with genuine connection: when we take the time to listen, share our experiences, and cultivate curiosity about others. In every space I enter, I carry the intention of leaving it better than I found it—enhancing collaboration, purpose, and momentum.
I am also deeply passionate about coffee—not merely as a beverage, but as a cultural phenomenon, a ritual, and a bridge between worlds. I approach specialty coffee with great curiosity, exploring its flavors, origins, brewing techniques, and the nuances that elevate it to an art form. For me, coffee represents a moment of mindfulness—an opportunity to slow down, observe, and be fully present.
Whether I am building teams, organizing events, or refining a brewing method, my driving force remains the same: a profound appreciation for people, for stories, and for everything that ignites transformation from within.

My passion is to lead and serve. I wanted to inspire, motivate and empower young people and educators around the world to work on keeping our Earth safe and peaceful. Through global collaboration, students and educators have been connecting in my classroom to work towards achieving the UN's Sustainable Development Goals, which is included in my personal goals right now. I am very passionate to take action and to act now.
I have been establishing local and global connections to engage more educators and students towards international-mindedness. I am constantly connecting with non-government agencies and private institutions working for animal welfare, like Wildlife in Need and El Kabayo in the Philippines. Students volunteer every year to take care of animals, training how to rescue mammals, rehabilitate animal shelters and explore and take care of animals living in the wild and under the ocean. I am also collaborating with institutions and schools to do some outreach projects, such as in Kanaynayan Village and Kanawan School. I let my students work with projects through global collaboration such as TeachSDG Ambassadors' Innovation Project and Link to the World Project. I also engage my students with online global discussion through Global Encounters, where students discuss with professionals, educators, and students all over the world about global issues.
Through global collaboration using Skype in the Classroom, I can connect more and more classrooms, students, and educators all over the world to work towards maintaining peace and promote justice among countries.
In the community, I conduct training and seminars on how SDG can be practiced and integrated with the community and school. I assist and support students and educators on their projects to be able to help save our world.

When we talk about ideas, we talk about creativity, imagination and expression of human sentiments. And that is what I’m passionate about, expressing the most intense of emotions, I’m passionate about art.
I was first introduced to this world of art in my childhood, when I was just eight years old. Since then, I have worked on various paintings that have been highly appreciated. Currently, I’m even a member of Shades, the art club of my college, BITS Pilani Hyderabad Campus. We are a bunch of art enthusiasts who indulge in art oriented activities throughout the year. Painting is a good way for me to relax and provides me immense joy to work with my club members. Some of my most creative solutions to my professional problems have come when I'm painting.
Apart from this I am also active member of Entrepreneurship Cell of my college. I am also interested in startups and developing entrepreneurial skills. Being the part of team we have conducted several events ranging from B-plan competitions, workshops, talks, start-up events etc.
