São Paulo Seminar – Democracy and Social Justice

With democracy and social justice as the focus of this event, and with Brazil as a country where so much progress has been made in this field over the last years, we are convinced to have found just the right place for the work of our seminar and the examination of its important topic.

Event Date 24. – 25.04.2016
