Brazil Watch

Using videos and films we'll learn about this amazing place, that now will host the summer Olympic Games in 2016. Samba, soccer, and beaches-you bet. But we'll also learn about the challenges this nation of 180 million inhabitants faces. Find out why Brazilians call their country "o pais maravilhoso" (the marvelous country).

This seminar is tentatively scheduled to meet during Second Session on TR from 3:40 pm - 4:55 pm.

Note: Please check the official timetable for the most up-to-date information about meeting times and locations and availability.
