This event is organised by the ISSL Parents and Teachers Association, but it is open to the whole community. ISSL welcomes all those who wish to participate in the Guinness Record Breakers event from 14h00 onwards, in the Algarve Stadium, in order to help ISSL achieve their goal.

International School São Lourenço (ISSL) is an international school located in Almancil in Algarve, Portugal.

Founded in 1978 and a private fee-paying school, ISSL is a nonprofit organisation. It has been run since 2006 by a Board of Governors composed of parents elected by the Parent Teacher Association (PTA).

Children from the ages of 3 to 18 attending ISSL enjoy an exceptional education. The school operates with the internationally recognised and demanding Cambridge IGCSE and A-Level programme of study. This programme offers a broad choice of curriculum and has a reputation for developing successful students.

ISSL has integrated the teaching of the national language and culture into their curriculum, with a department of dedicated and qualified Portuguese staff specialising in the teaching of their country's language and culture. Portuguese language lessons are now mandatory at the younger levels with children taking these classes divided into groups according to their linguistic skill level. This will increase the opportunity for those attending the school to leave it fully bi-lingual.

Portuguese children at the school, meanwhile, achieve an education in English while still being able to learn their own language and literature in accordance with the Portuguese Education Ministry programme.
