Community Organizing in Itacare

As part of my bachelor cultural anthropology i participated in a internship with ETIV do Brasil. Four months i worked with the local fishermen of Passagem and attempted to establish a workers union with them, as a community organizer.
I had the oppurtunity to also do research, as this was part of my program.
The internship was amazing and the overral experience too. The city of Itacare is incredibly welcoming and the local community is friendly and open.
I have learnt to deal with many obstacles as my patience was incredibly tested. I was challenged by many factors but have learned so much about Brazil about myself, about the functioning of a young NGO and the community of Itacare. I highly recommend the internship position to anyone who speaks fluent portuguese and feels challenged or is interested in this adventure! Itacare awaits you.
