Every day I can discover many new things here, in Brazil. IBRAM gave me a great opportunity to find out more about the Vale`s department of communications.

Vale (Vale) is a multinational Brazilian company and one of the largest logistics operators in the country. Vale is also well known as the largest mining company in the world and the largest producer of iron ore and nickel.

Together with my colleague, I arrived in Nova Lima (Minas Gerais, Brazil), where the meeting with the representatives of the Vale`s department of communications was held. Firstly, we had a small excursion andvisited the mine, which is calledMina da Matuca. It`s a different type of mine, so we didn’t have to wear a special uniform. It`s necessary to notice that you can see the process of work from one of the highest points in this area. Also, there is such a beautiful view of the city, so you can take a lot of cool pictures!

The meeting was interesting and useful, so we found out more about the company, its structure, responsibilities and activities of the department of communications. That was a pleasure for us to bethere. Also, we were surprised by the company`s gift.Now we have our own painting «Trópicos» of FernandoM. Velloso, which looks really nice!
