VIU WLCE is very pleased to release the Case Studies Volume as a result of the 2018 WLCE Douglas Ribeiro da Silva International Field School. This case study volume — available in English and Portuguese — is an initiative from the World Leisure Centers of Excellence (WLCE): WLCE Breda University of Applied Sciences (The Netherlands), WLCE Otago University (New Zealand), WLCE University of Sao Paulo (Brazil), WLCE Vancouver Island University (Canada) and WLCE Zhejiang University (China).

Twenty four students from eight different countries and eleven universities were involved in the field school, and this document was elaborated to share the experiences and perceptions of the leisure practices experienced by the students in Brazil.
