Nothing replaces the presence of students and teachers in the classroom. Thus, during the month of March, Mais Querido's Social Responsibility department carried out the "Back to School, Nation!" campaign. With education as its main focus, Flamengo distributed 500 school supply kits to elementary, high school, and EJA (Youth and Adult Education) students in Rio de Janeiro. Aiming to combat school dropout, the campaign sought to leverage Flamengo's influence with children and young people to encourage school attendance and support families who often sacrifice their household budgets with school supply lists. The campaign aimed to demonstrate the importance of the school environment, reinforcing that children and adolescents belong in school.
