Cultural Exchange

Welcome

Tell our about your works

ABCeX (American Brazilian Cultural Exchange) is a non-profit organization committed to promoting cultural exchange between the United States and Brazil. Our founders and board members come from a wide range of experiences and careers. We all share a love for Brazilian culture and a strong belief in the power of cultural exchange to inspire, enlighten, and empower. Most of us have had cultural exchange experiences abroad that were somehow transformative. In March 2009, we founded ABCeX in response to the recognition that such experiences are invaluable, and that, due to lack of infrastructure, they remain inaccessible to many interested parties in the U.S. and in Brazil.

Why the US and Brasil?

Brazil and the US are the two giants of the western hemisphere, economically and culturally.  And they will only become increasingly linked to each other in the future, as a multi-polar world becomes a reality.  We believe that stronger links and deeper understanding between the two will be crucial in the future.

Why Cultural Exchange?

Cultural exchange is good for you.

Take, for example, the advantages of learning a second language.  For one thing, you can meet new people, make new friends, and understand people with different points of view.  It might help you get work overseas, or get a better job where you live.  There are cognitive benefits as well. Speakers of multiple languages also process their own native language better than faster, and a second language may even make your brain more resilient and creative.

Testimonials

Thank you ABCeX for the year 2010! It has been a year of new partnerships, planning and reunions. It is most inspiring to realize that while we continue our volunteer work with passion and commitment here in Brazil there are people in the Northern continent that support our aim to improve education and cultural exchange. We are looking forward for the year 2011 and hope that it will put some of our plans into action and of course we wish all of you good health, peace, success and love!"
