In conjunction with its various programmes in housing, sanitation, communication and education, TIBÁ provides consultation in eco-techniques. Our staff also maintains exchanges with other experts, institutions and groups dedicated towards similar goals, within Brazil as well as in many other parts of the world.

TIBA has developed a number of ways to improve housing and ways of transferring this knowledge to those who stand to benefit by it. This is done in the form of workshops, all supported by a program producing didactic materials such as posters, games, bulletins, manuals and books.

Our team is available to give courses and workshops abroad; we have given seminars throughout Latin America, Europe, and India. In addition the centre is open to receive other groups who are looking for a beautiful and inspiring place to run their own workshops or gatherings.

TIBA's buildings surround a charming cobblestone square set within the Mata Atlantica (coastal jungle) with waterfalls, large ponds, orchards and gardens. There are many trails to explore throughout this tropical forest where one can observe the many birds and other animals.

In Tupi, an indigenous language in Brazil, Tiba means
" A PLACE WHERE MANY PEOPLE MEET "
