(English) Since 2004, in partnership with established community organizations, Catalytic Communities has been offering Educational Community Visits to journalists, activists, development researchers, government officials, city planners and architects wanting a deeper and more engaging experience of Rio de Janeiro and its favelas.
If you or colleagues plan to be in Rio for the Rio+20 UN Conference on the Environment, please read on and share this far and wide.
We will be offering a range of carefully selected and organized visits during the Rio+20 UN Conference daily from June 13-29.

If you’re in Rio, don’t miss this opportunity to get a detailed and nuanced understanding of Rio’s changing dynamics, the unique nature of the favelas, and why this is relevant globally.
