  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  In an environment defined by simplicity, diversity, and a welcoming spirit, people from various countries and regions of Brazil experience and foster community life sharing aspects of their own cultures, languages, personal experiences, and art, while also learning from one another. They engage in spontaneous conversations around the table, cook together, gather for music around a campfire, watch and discuss films, and learn about healthy living, agroecology, and socio-environmental activism. Together, they create paintings and banners centered on a "Culture of Peace," which are then displayed in neighborhood public squares.

  Help
