Séminaire International - La tragédie bresiliénne: risque pour la Maison Commune?
4, 5 et 6 mai 2021
The International Seminar "Brazilian Tragedy: a risk to our Common Home?" Will be held on the 4th, 5th and 6th of May, completely online.
Religious, human rights and socio-biodiversity organizations are leading the initiative, which will include representatives from churches, researchers, activists, students and specialists from different fields.
The process of deconstructing democracy in Brazil experienced in recent years has led the country to multiple emergencies: in the religious area, with fundamentalisms, in the economic area, with the rupture of the welfare state, in the area of human rights, with the increasing violence and the murder of groups vulnerable due to their ethnic, racial, social, territorial and gender characteristics, in the area of socio-biodiversity, with the destruction of forests, biomes and native peoples, in the area of health, with the health crisis caused by the criminal administration of the coronavirus pandemic.
The denial policies of the federal government to adequately tackle the pandemic have transformed it into the most acute emergency among other emergencies. For this reason, the main objective of the Seminar is to analyze the current scenario of collapse in health systems and disregard for health policies referenced by science, in order to understand what risks the present framework may represent (or not) for the planet as a whole, for our Common Home.
"Over the course of these three days, we will deepen the analysis of the Brazilian situation in the light of pandemics and measure the impacts of fundamentalisms on democracy, the economy, socio-biodiversity and the health crisis," explained CONIC General-Secretary Romi Bencke, adding that the idea is also to "establish alliances and strategic actions".
