Celebrating Brazil Week

Each year, we host a celebration of research, education, and outreach activities on Brazil with the Brazil Institute at King’s.

In the midst of major global shifts in recent years, Brazil has asserted its agency across critical issues including democracy and governance, climate change and the Amazon, cultural innovation, and global trade.

Brazil Week 2025 explored how Brazil can exercise greater role in shaping global conversations and challenging distances created by power imbalances.
