What’s at stake?

More than a contest. A legacy.

The winning artwork from our 10 Years of IPTI-US Cultural Contest will become the official commemorative emblem of this decade — featured across our communications, materials, and milestones throughout our anniversary year.

But its meaning goes much further. The chosen piece will carry the visual identity of an entire decade of work: every young person reached, every community strengthened, every life touched by the social technologies we support at THP and RPS.

A symbol of where we have been — and where we are going.

Meet the jury of our 10 Years of IPTI-US Cultural Contest.

Eight thoughtful voices will help us choose the artwork that will represent this decade — a curated panel of artists, partners, and friends of our mission. Each one brings a unique perspective: from artistic expertise to lived experience with the communities we serve through THP and RPS.

They will evaluate originality, visual strength, emotional impact, and — above all — the connection each piece holds with the story of IPTI-US, THP, and the Arte Naturalista program.

We extend our deepest gratitude to each of them for lending their time, sensitivity, and care to this celebration.

👉🏼The contest is on

We are launching our Cultural Contest to celebrate 10 Years of IPTI-US.🎨

IPTI-US is a U.S.-based nonprofit that raises funds to support two Brazilian organizations: THP (The Human Project) and RPS (Rede de Professores Sinapse) — both dedicated to developing social technologies that transform lives.

To mark this milestone, we made a meaningful choice. Among the many programs we proudly support, we selected Arte Naturalista — one of THP’s social technologies — to represent our 10-year celebration. Arte Naturalista works with young adults, using art as a tool for human and social transformation, connecting them to nature, local culture, and their own creative voice. 🍾🥂10!

And to create the artwork that will become the visual symbol of this decade, we turned to the very heart of the program: the coordinators and former students of Arte Naturalista — those who have lived this journey with us.🖌️🫟

The Cultural Contest is our way of honoring ten years of impact through the eyes, hands, and stories of those who built it with us. 🫟

Because no one tells this story better than those who lived it.

The submissions are coming in. The story continues.

At CRIA, supporting children also means supporting parents.

Through CRIA’s School for Parents, families are encouraged to understand childhood development with more empathy, patience, and emotional awareness — not by teaching people “how to be parents,” but by helping make the journey lighter and healthier for both children and caregivers.

This video features the voices of CRIA coordinators and community leaders who guide this transformation every day through listening, education, affection, and human connection.

At CRIA, families learn that every child develops differently, that comparison can be harmful, and that understanding childhood is one of the greatest forms of care.

And perhaps most importantly:
every adult was once a child too.

Support CRIA through IPTI-US.

💚 CRIA is growing — and we couldn’t be more excited.

A new group of young people has just joined the program, and from day one, they’ve been welcomed and guided by CRIA’s veteran youth, now passing on everything they’ve learned. ✨

This first gathering was filled with purpose, warmth, and the kind of energy that reminds us exactly why we do this work.

To this new cohort: may this journey bring you meaningful connections, deep learning, and experiences that stay with you for life. 🌱

We’re rooting for every single one of you.
