Welcome to Brazil! In the seventh episode of our season, we share a story from São Paulo, the largest city by population in the country and South America. We talked to Daiane Araújo and learned more about her experience at “Casa dos Meninos”, an initiative working on information and communication technologies with the youth on the city outskirts. She works on community networks projects and reflects on their intersection with gender, race and class.
We also traveled to a small Brazilian town called Monteiro Lobato, where Luísa Bagope lives. She is one of the creators of the project “Nodes that Bond”, which focuses on gender and feminist issues.
“Routing for Communities” is a 12-episode podcast. Here you will be able to listen to the life stories of people connecting themselves while defending the rights and well-being of their communities.
