Brazil shares practices at technology and digital seminar
The design of the Brazil Pavilion is based on one of the most famous works of the Campana brothers - the Favela Chair.
The Brazil Pavilion hosted a two-day seminar on May 19 and 20, focusing on Brazilian innovations and systems that have improved the everyday life of Brazilians and given people improved access to equipment, services, and installations.
Under the theme "Information Technology and Digital Inclusion," participants shared their visions on improved access to government services and the Internet and exchanged ideas and experiences on economic development, while recognizing the need for cooperation.
Helping low-income individuals buy computers and expanding Internet access in schools are two of the practices shared by Brazil in reducing information inequality.
The Brazil Pavilion plans to continue providing a valuable platform for countries to exchange their ideas and experiences. Topics to be discussed include science, technology, and innovation; energy; water for development; and urban regeneration.
Brazil shows off the cultural diversity of Brazilian cities, their dynamism and the ever-present football with the theme "Pulsing Cities: Feel the Life of Brazilian Cities" at its Expo 2010 pavilion.
The pavilion highlights the transformation of Brazilian cities in search of urban solutions that result in sustainable development and wellbeing for citizens.
A Brazilian restaurant serves generous helpings of the nation's culinary delights. The rectangular pavilion is covered by green intersecting wooden lace.
