Favela é isso aí





Favela é isso aí

Non-Governmental Organization Favela é isso aí was the result of the Cultural Guide to Villages and Slums, designed by the anthropologist Clarice Libânio and published in August 2004.The organization was created in order to provide the construction of citizenship, raising self-esteem, social inclusion and combating violence by supporting and disseminating actions of art and culture from the periphery.
which is one of the principal shapers of opinion...
As the Rodrigo Baggio’s project, the project Favela é isso aí appears as a way to include young people from underprivileged classes in society and the in the labor market. No project is aiming to a direct fight with drug trade, but providing opportunities helps to keep this young people away of this sad reality. The difference between the two projects is that the Favela é isso aí project aimed at people interested in art,of all kinds,and the Rodrigo Baggio’s project aims to help people interested in technology. Both show that it is possible for non- governmental organizations to change the reality of our country and it's up to all of us, instead of staying seated complaining of measures that are not taken by the government, do our part to make Brazil become a better country .



You can get more information of the project in their site:
