SIRI is a Social technology for teaching English with the purpose of expanding opportunities for young people in global entrepreneurship projects and providing English learning in rural communities.
Current Status
SIRi has been working to train young people in initial and advanced classes in English teaching, in addition to forming customized classes for students of other social technologies such as CLOC, JIRO, LuCA and Oficina de Negócios, who depend on mastery of this language to improve their skills.
















Historic
Since its inception in 2018, SIRi has stood out as a Social Technology dedicated to teaching English to teenagers and young people from rural communities. Its innovative methodology values creativity and interactivity, using educational games and students' everyday contexts to integrate English teaching in municipal public schools in a sustainable way.
One of the main motivations of the initiative is to train young entrepreneurs in Santa Luzia do Itanhy, enabling them to communicate effectively with potential customers and international partners. In 2019, the most engaged students became reapplicators, disseminating the SIRi methodology to new classes of students. In search of continuous improvement, SIRi expanded its horizons by starting an online conversation experience with volunteer teenagers from New York, promoting the development of advanced students' speaking and pronunciation skills. That same year, SIRi collaborated with the methodology “Pense Grande” to create the English version of educational games on Emotional Intelligence and Financial Education, expanding students' vocabulary. The development of the first complete version of the reapplication booklet was also an important milestone, carried out together with reapplicators. The year 2021 was marked by the adaptation of SIRi to meet the needs of tourism in small businesses, strengthening the partnership with JIRO Social Technology. There was also collaboration with the Business Workshop ST to outline future social business planning for English teaching. In 2022, MESH – Mangrove English School House was founded, the first social enterprise for teaching English in Santa Luzia do Itanhy, aimed at remote communities with limited access to digital technologies. MESH develops customized methodologies to meet the characteristics and needs of each group, aiming to prepare young people for the globalized job market in a sustainable way. In 2023, the school launched new teaching materials, highlighting the SIRi app, which works as a teaching platform similar to Google Classroom, allowing the presentation of content, interactive quizzes and performance assessments. In addition, conversation classes were created and a connection was established between the SIRi methodology and other Social Technologies, such as the Business Workshop and CLOC, promoting entrepreneurship and programming. In 2024, SIRI promoted synergies with other social technologies from The Human Project, such as Arte Naturalista, CLOC, Jiro and the Ed-mundo project, focusing on teaching English adapted to the diverse needs of these initiatives. These SIRI interfaces resulted in important pedagogical resources, such as the Ed-mundo booklet in English and the construction of dominoes in partnership with Arte Naturalista students. In addition to these actions, videos in English were also produced for the Jiro app, strengthening the integration and impact of these technologies on the learning process.
