Panorama Brasil em Movimento

Panorama Brasil em Movimento (PBM) was devised and developed in 2006 at the University of São Paulo, and in the intervening years it has become a pathbreaking manifestation of Brazilian culture. An ongoing programme of debates and cultural events embracing the visual arts, music, dance and cinema, its mission is to promote flows of cooperation, to share experiences and knowledge, to convey an image of contemporary Brazil, explore new technologies, and stimulate themes for collaborative research, wherever there is potential to promote common agendas for work in the field of human rights. Panorama Brasil em Movimento (PBM) is multi-disciplinary, and its activities revolve around the following themes: citizenship, human rights, public security, language and communication.
