While there is a lot of controversy in the literature regarding whether the Magellanic Clouds are orbiting the Milky Way  or having their first close encounter, it is clear that they are currently very close one from the other and that both are experiencing a close passage with our Galaxy. It is well known that during the interaction of galaxies there is an intimate relationship between dynamics, star formation and chemical evolution, leaving clear signs of such interaction in their stellar populations. This talk will show how stellar clusters can be used to trace the chemical evolution of the SMC and its relationship with the dynamic history of the Magellanic System.
