Today I met Luca
I'll leave it to others to provide the summary of today's activities, but for me the highlight was meeting students at FGV, and especially Luca. We met Luca with a student group, but couldn't understand (to his satisfaction) about the 'student entities' he was involved with. So when he saw us crossing the car park, he rushed over and dragged me away so he could show me what he was doing. Student 'entities' are student enterprises - public policy consultancies and projects, work with NGOs etc - a real life opportunity for the students to put their skills into practice. I was so impressed by Luca's enthusiasm for his 'entity' and it had a fantastic office. Their current project was about providing mammography services in some of the less advantaged areas of Sao Paulo - properly useful stuff.
