Feira de Santana, July 8, 2019 – On July 5, Feira de Santana hosted the first edition of the Caiubi Project, created by Klabin to train municipal school teachers and facilitators in the region. The event, held at the Auditorium of the Instituto Federal da Bahia (IFBA), was organized in partnership with the city’s Education Department, neighborhood associations and the Institute.
