PUBLIC LEADERSHIP COMMUNITY
What is it?
A living space for exchange, learning, and collaboration among leaders working in public management. Here, we share best practices, real experiences, and solutions to concrete challenges, strengthening those who already lead—and those preparing to lead—transformations in the public sector. Our work is guided by ethical values, peer collaboration, and a focus on public impact, with the student at the center and equity as a transversal commitment.
Who is it for?
Professionals from the Ensina Brasil Alumni Network who work or wish to work in the public sector and want to expand their impact through connection, continuous learning, and collective action.
LEADERSHIP RESIDENCY
It is a strategic short-term experience that connects Ensina Brasil Network alumni to partner organizations in the educational and social ecosystem. During a period that can range from 4 to 12 weeks, participants lead high-impact projects in areas such as strategic planning, innovation, public policy, sustainability, institutional communication, and leadership development.
More than a temporary job, the Leadership Residency is a bridge for transformation. In it, talents recognized for their experience in management and project development in public schools bring a critical view, execution capacity, and commitment to social transformation to organizations seeking innovation and institutional strengthening.
For organizations, it represents the opportunity to have highly engaged professionals prepared to face complex challenges. For alumni, it offers the chance to experience new contexts, expand their network, and explore career paths—always with purpose and impact.

For two years, participants live the reality of public schools, expand their repertoire, and mobilize real changes in learning and school culture. It is the program that connects us to the global Teach For All network.
