1. IMPACT
BRASÍLIA

2. Which story will you tell?
Which story will you live?
Which story will you transform?

3. 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 races
The 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.

4. Why Brazil?
Food
The 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.

5. Why Brasília?

6. Why Brasília?
We are the capital of Brazil
Brasília 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.
Brasília is considered by UNESCO a world heritage and it has
the largest urban park of the world.

7. 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”.
Why Brasília?

8. Cost of life
Brasília has a high cost of living compared to other cities in
Brazil, however, also has a high quality of life. The cost of
living can vary depending on the location in Brasilia, for
example, in nearby cities the cost of living is more affordable.

11. About AIESEC

in 14/15
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.

12. 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.

15. Job Descriptions
Prepare Classes - The intern will be responsible for preparing
dynamic classes involving issues of leadership and social
entrepreneurship. Seeking opportunities that are adaptable to
the age group according to the needs of students and the
resources available to prepare lessons.
Evaluation and Reports - The team of each institution
(School or NGOs) should meet once a week to plan and
evaluate the activities, as well as create reports of the activities
already undertaken.

“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.”
