In Daniel Soares’s school in Inhumas, Brazil the teachers and students have a permanent cordel hanging in the hall. Daniel explains, “I teach three different classes, and anything they produce, instead of handing it in for a grade, they hang it on the cordel in the hallway of the school. It has become a ritual. It allows for conversation between classes.”
