Why brazil?

The Brazil goes far beyond football, carnival and women, we are a country full of natural beauties like beaches, waterfalls, animals and a variety of fruits. In addition we have the most welcoming, happy and sociable people you can imagine.

More than Football

We are a mix of racesThe Brazilian population consists mainly of descendants of indigenous peoples, Portuguese settlers, African slaves and different groups of immigrants as Italian, German, Spanish, Syrian-Lebanese Japanese, Polish, Dutch and Ukrainians.

For this reason the Brazil has a rich diversity of cultures.

Why Brazil?

FoodThe regional foods are very diversified from state to state, exactly for its large size and its colonization, which gives a huge variety of ingredients and flavors.

Some typical foods are rice and beans, barbecue, feijoada, açai and brigadeiro (a delicious sweet).

The Brazil is composed of 26 states and the federal district, each of them has fantastic places, a distinct population and a remarkable cuisine. The climate is tropical and always seems to live in the summer. Any time of the year is perfect to go to the beach. Low temperatures are located in southern Brazil, creating landscapes that resemble europe.

Why Brasília?

Why Brasília?

We are the capital of BrazilBrasília is the capital of Brazil and the seat of the government. The city was planned in 1956 in order to move the capital from Rio de Janeiro to a more central and safe location. Brasília has a shape of a airplane and is known for the striking architecture.

We are multicultural

Climate

Brasília is the most multicultural city in Brazil. People from all over Brazil came to Brasília during its construction and so here you can find a variety in your culinary, culture and people.

Brasília weather is warm most of the year, we have a hot and rainy summer and a cold and dry winter. We don’t have beach but we have the lake and the most beautiful sky in the world. We used to say that “The sky is the sea of Brasília”.

AIESEC Brasilia was founded in 1998 by students of the University of Brasilia, a federal public university, one of the most important higher education institution in Brazil. AIESEC Brasilia is not linked to a university only, it represents all the universities of Brasilia.

The 2015 team is formed by the Executive Board Calliandra whose mission is Make It Worth It. Through excellence, leadership stories and experiences we seek to be among the TOP 10 in the world.

The situation in Brazil is currently made up of various social, educational and economic disparities. More and more Brazilian children and teenagers grow up being heavily impacted by such issues of their reality. Live in the lowest social reality makes the expectations for the future quite limited., so these young people do not see opportunities for change and not feel able to transform their situation.

The Change Yourself Change Your Home Project aims to impact the lives of these children and teenagers through social entrepreneurship education, developing their leadership and making them agents of change in their communities. The project will take place in schools and NGOs from Brasilia to children and teenagers.

“I had the best experience! I loved all the things that I learn

but specially all the people that I met, students, trainees,

member, good friends. Thank you so much!”

“I really enjoyed my time in Brasilia, as it really allowed to

me to step out of my comfort zone. I also got to

interact with so many people from across the world, and

this I think was the most valuable thing, as now I'm very glad to call them my

friends.”
