    Kenmerken van het gastland

    broken image

    Ecologische  diversiteit

    Vegetatie en teelten

    Van tropisch regenwoud, savannes en moerassen tot weelderige kuststroken. Brazilië is bekend voor de productie van koffie, cacao, sinaasappelen, rietsuiker en maïs. Natuurgebied wordt er echter ook bedreigd door de teelt van soja, katoen en vlees.

    broken image

    Kleurrijke mengelmoes

    Bevolking & religie

    208 miljoen Brazilianen vormen samen een multiraciale samenleving. Deze mix van inheemse, Afrikaanse en Europese invloeden brengt eigen uitdagingen met zich mee. Brazilië is zeer religieus: je vindt er de candomblé, het katholicisme en het evangelisme.

    Sociale contrasten

    Extremen

    Een land van ongelijkheden, arm en rijk. 85% van de rijkdom is in handen van 5% van de bevolking. Een werkelijkheid van steriele winkelcentra en beveiligde woonblokken voor de elite naast straatkinderen, sloppenwijken, kinderarbeid en een ontoereikend onderwijs- en gezondheidssysteem.

    Politieke uitdagingen

    Falend beleid

    Na 3 eeuwen kolonisatie en 20 jaar militaire dictatuur werd Brazilië pas in 1985 een democratie. Het politieke leven wordt nog sterk door corruptie en wanbeheer bepaald. Maar er ontstaan ook sociale bewegingen, rond feminisme, afro-bewustzijn, ecologie en vegetarisme bijvoorbeeld.

    Positiviteit

    Het land van de hartelijkheid

    Brazilianen zijn nieuwsgierig, extravert en genereus. 'Wie goed doet, goed ontmoet' is een spreuk die in vele woonkamers prijkt. De bevolking houdt van lachen, feesten en praten. Brazilianen stralen levenslust uit en proberen aan alles een positieve draai te geven.

    Energie

    Zinderend cultureel leven

    Brazilië zou Brazilië niet zijn zonder zijn uitzinnige carnaval, voetbal, de capoeira, samba, bossa nova en de prachtige muziek van de tropicalistas. Brazilië heeft interessante sociale films en een eigen literatuur voortgebracht. Je vindt er ook de mooiste barokke architectuur ter wereld.
