PATRICK & KANAV IN BRAZIL
Patrick & Kanav visited Rio de Janeiro in October to visit some of the projects that The Favela Foundation has supported over the past 12 months, including Instituto WARK, and spent time in favelas across Rio.
​
They were also fortunate enough to attend a Sustainability in Favelas Conference and visit some excellent new projects as we look forward to 2019.
Patrick and Matt attended this year's Brazil Forum, hosted at London Schools of Economics. The theme was Break(ing) Down the Constitution, focused on assessing the success of Brazil's post-dictatorship constitution, created 30 years ago.
​
The panels and talks focused on themes ranging from the economy to inequality and sustainable development, as well as keynote speeches from Head of Amnesty International Brazil, Jurema Werneck, and ex-President Dilma Rousseff.

RioOnWatch.org asked Patrick to write his summary of the event, titled 'Justice and Politics of Inequality Dominate Brazil Forum UK 2018' - follow the link to have a read - http://www.rioonwatch.org/?p=43323
