KCL Brazilian Society

In line with its objectives of promoting learning about Brazil at King’s, the Institute has strong links with the student body, especially through the Brazilian society, which helps to promote its events to students across all faculties. The society caters to both Brazilian and foreign students that want to learn more about Brazil’s political and economic context, and celebrate its culture. Through social, cultural, and academic events, this student-led group aims to engage the Brazilian community within King’s. The partnership between the Institute and the wider student body has allowed undergraduate students to access lectures and events involving high-profile academics and professionals, as well as provided career development opportunities. Moreover, it allowed Brazilian students to learn more about their home country and maintain a connection with their culture while also encouraging while also encouraging non-Brazilian students to learn more about Brazil.
