Cristine Rodrigues's post on Goodwall - Let me introduce my self. My name is Cristine Rodrigues, I'm student at Colégio Pedro II, in Rio de Janeiro. I'm seventeen years old, and with Camille Monteiro, I'm part of Center for Research and Audiovisual Studies in Geography – NEPAG, supervised by the professor and doctor in geography, Yan Navarro. I come from one of poorest neighborhoods in Rio de Janeiro, I have always studied in a public school, and NEPAG bring to me oportunities, then I achieved several achievements, like when I went Portugal represent the school in "I Congress IberoAmerican We Propose". The current research is based in one question: What you think when someone ask to you about tourism in Brazil? Probably you going to think in Rio de Janeiro city. Rio de Janeiro city is one of the biggest international ícons. The beaches, boardwalks, forests, carnival and among others attractions, put the city in a prestigious place, to receive different kinds of events. However, despite every effort to bring these events, and consequently, more tourist to Rio de Janeiro, this economic activity is restricted to a little part of the city. Realengo's neighborhood, is located in west zone of the Rio de Janeiro city, has several aspects, like historical, cultural and geographical. There is notorious cultural desvalorization of this and other suburb areas, comparing with upscale neighborhoods, located in south zone of the city, where are concentrated the more part of the touristc and economical investments. In this way, we collected the bibliographic data of the neighborhood, doing researches and using the metology of "we porpose", from the Lisbon University, to create a educational touristc route in Rio's west zone.Then, the creation of the route would bring more visibility to buildings and public spaces, which are unknow to residents and tourists, showing the importance of the place in the history, which students see everyday on the move from home to school. In this way, our project can be the beginning of the democratization of the tourism, because looks for valorization of forgotten areas and less privileged, consequently, it proposes the critical sense and a new look about Rio de Janeiro and suburbs to tourists and students. #FBJC #GEOGRAPHY #EDUCATION #SUBURBS #socialimpact
