In August 2016, Rio de Janeiro hosted the Feira dos Povos e da Bioversidade do Brazil – a fair that showcased sustainable foods and crafts produced by indigenous Brazilians. It was an attempt to drive awareness for the produce of the country’s traditional communities, who are often ignored.

In Brazil, there's much negative stigma attached to the country's indigenous tribes. In an attempt to rectify this, the Kaxinawá tribe has collaborated with game developers to createHuni Kui, a game that offers players an opportunity to understand the ways in which they live.

Brazil is living through its worst recession in history and in response to the tumult, many people are turning to life coaching for guidance. The São Paulo branch of The School of Life is among the organisations aiming to improve their soft skills, helping them find happiness and fulfilment at work.

Brazilians are not unfamiliar with national crises, but amid rising crime, high unemployment, a series of political scandals, and a recession fresh in people’s memories, things are taking a heavy toll on the population. How are they reacting to the difficulties? And how do they see the future?
