Details of Major Brain Awareness Week Events/Activities:
We proposed a challenge to the people who follow our profile on Instagram (@reabnaamazonia). We challenge to practice any type of exercise (it could be running, cycling, walking on the treadmill, training at the gym…). Then, with the completion of the activity, they had to post a photo on Instagram with the hashtag #1KMUFPA and tag our profile. In addition, we visited a public school and presented dynamics related to balance to elementary school students, we explained in a didactic and playful way about the vestibular system so that the children understood what the brain week was, what the brain is, and how this will affect the vestibular system and consequently our balance.

How do you feel BAW participation benefited your organization and the local community?
BAW benefited our community because it promoted the dissemination of neuroscience, encouraging us to participate in the campaign. In addition, it contributed to showing children how balance in the nervous system works.
Please share any suggestions or lessons learned that may help others plan future events:
People like to participate and be challenged, so we thought a global challenge proposed by the foundation could be very interesting.
