Jhonatas emigrated from Brazil to Portugal and has been living here for almost three years. He studies in 8th grade and already feels well integrated and, he says, that people treat him well.

He thinks that, although the language is the same, people in Portugal and Brazil have a different mentality. People here are older and he believes they have different religious beliefs; even the way they celebrate in the two countries is different. There, the celebrations are more intense and longer lasting.

At this school, Jhonatas really enjoys games such as table tennis, which help students to relax after class. At his school in his country, classes ended earlier, but here he has to stay until 5:20 p.m., which impressed him.

‘At my school, I had classes until noon, and here until 5:20 p.m.’

He misses the traditional food of his country. However, he thinks that foreigners can integrate into Portugal, as it is a well-developed country and there are many job opportunities.
