The São Paulo Immigration Museum has kicked off a month-long series of weekend educational tours designed to immerse visitors—locals and expatriates alike—in the waves of migration that helped shape modern Brazil. Sessions run every Saturday and Sunday in March, offering narrated walks through the restored 19th-century immigrant hostel and interactive exhibits on contemporary mobility.

The programme dovetails with a city initiative to foster cultural integration for the estimated 400,000 foreign residents in greater São Paulo. Relocation firms often use the museum as part of orientation packages for new assignees, helping families contextualise their move and easing ‘culture shock’ in the first 90 days. For HR teams, the tours can be billed as intercultural-training under global mobility policies and thus qualify as a tax-deductible relocation expense.
