On Wednesday,
19th of October, the
Building Community Event Day will take place in the MAB Auditorium at Homerton College, an initiative that is part of the
II Freire Conference: Building the bridge between popular education and university program organised by the
Cambridge Latin American Research in Education Collective (CLAREC), the
Universidade Emancipa and a collective of people based in multiple academic institutions and social movements. T
his is intended to be a symbolic day of occupation for local activists, community leaders, artists and members of social movements at the University of Cambridge, where cultural activities and collaborative dialogue spaces will be held. We invite you to be part of the creation of this cultural-dialogical space.
Inspired by a vibrant Latin American cultural tradition known in Brazilian Portuguese as "sarau", we will close this day of activities with a collaborative cultural and artistic space in which anyone can participate. Sarau is a gathering with the aim of sharing cultural experiences, expressing the Self through the arts and socialising. The sarau is a space for artists and non-artists to promote an environment that encourages and invites to diverse aesthetic and cultural expressions, such as dance, music, performance, poetry, among others. Let your imagination and creative self guide you!
