Irish Brazil Solidarity Group

The group has been going for the last seven years. We meet on the second Wednesday of the month, in LASC.

Our overall aim is to promote solidarity, understanding and exchange of experience between interested groups and individuals in Ireland and those working for social change and justice in Brazil.

Our membership comprises returned development workers, who have a vast experience of working in Brazil, human rights activists interested in the country, and Brazilians living in Ireland.

We focus our activities in three areas:

• land ownership
• children’s rights and
• alternative economic models

But we also celebrate the joy and energy of Brazil and its people. We do this by having socials twice a year, where we serve simple Brazilian food, music and have a cultural exchange of ideas and experiences. All are welcome.
