The 1st Brazil-Canada Student Colloquium on Latin America and the Caribbean
Wed, 19 Jun 2024 - Thu, 20 Jun 2024
The first Brazil-Canada Student Colloquium aims to bring together students from Canadian and Brazilian universities around themes of common interest in Latin America and the Caribbean. It aims to promote knowledge sharing, and the integration of research networks, and to deepen academic cooperation between Canadian and Brazilian educational institutions and their student representatives.
The central theme of the symposium is Latin America and the Caribbean, and it addresses various aspects of the region's reality, including social, economic, political and environmental considerations. To facilitate the organization of discussions and logistics, these dimensions have been divided into six thematic round tables, although it is recognized that all the dynamics addressed will be interconnected. Activities will be conducted in French, Portuguese, Spanish and English.
