20 years of history

For 20 years, Gil Nogueira's legacy has continued to pave the way.

The Gil Nogueira Institute was born from the desire to transform a story of generosity into continuous impact in public schools. Since 2006, we have continued to write futures through reading.

Who names the Gil Nogueira Institute

Gil Nogueira was a businessman and, above all, someone who lived for others. By writing a book about his journey, the family discovered stories he had never told: strong gestures of generosity, support for social projects, concrete help to those who needed it.

After his passing in 2000, this legacy could not end in a final period. The Institute was born in 2006, inspired by Gil's way of seeing people, work, and the future: with ethics, responsibility, and a deep respect for the opportunities that education can offer.

Our mission remains the same

Our mission
remains the same

The Gil Nogueira Institute exists to strengthen public schools through reading. We believe that understanding what one reads is one of the most important foundations for learning, self-esteem, and a child's autonomy.

That is why, for 20 years, we have built paths where books, mediation, monitoring, and recognition become part of the school routine.

A story to celebrar 20 anos of transformation

In celebration of the 20th anniversary of the Gil Nogueira Institute, “The Pages of Livrinho” was born from an invitation by Patrícia Nogueira to writer Léo Dicker and illustrator Luis Portilho. Together, they brought to life an adventure marked by mysteries, friendships, discoveries, and the courage to move forward.

Created to awaken the imagination and bring children and families closer to the world of books, the release also contributes to the continuity of reading encouragement actions carried out in public schools in Minas Gerais. A celebration of the journey built so far and of the stories that may yet gain new pages.

By purchasing “The Pages of Livrinho”, you also contribute directly to the Gil Nogueira Institute and help strengthen reading encouragement actions carried out in public schools in Minas Gerais.

Together, we go further
