//CONCEPT
Humanidade
2012 is an initiative of FIESP, the FIRJAN System, the Roberto Marinho
Foundation, SESI-Rio, SESI-SP, Senai-Rio and Senai-SP, with sponsorship by the
City of Rio de Janeiro and Sebrae, designed to highlight the important role
that Brazil currently plays as a global leader in the debate on sustainable
development.
In an
innovative venue, welcome to all, members of society are invited to reflect
upon and deepen their understanding of a possible development model that takes
into consideration past, present and future impacts, to ensure better living
conditions around the planet along with economic growth, social inclusion and
respect for the environment. Humanidade 2012 is also a democratic forum which
will offer, in addition to meetings, seminars and workshops, a large
exhibition, open to the public, in order to demonstrate, in an entertaining,
interactive and participatory manner, how these concepts have been translated
into important initiatives and actions in our country.
The
structure, erected at Fort Copacabana, a tourist attraction in Rio de Janeiro,
will also serve as a meeting place and for sightseeing and socializing during
Rio+20, and is a contribution of the organizers to the event being sponsored by
the UN.
With a new
and striking architecture, created by set designer Bia Lessa, it was built on
the concept that sustainable means being simple: all the materials used,
ranging from scaffolding, enclosures, furniture and even the garbage generated,
will be reused after the event ends.
Different
exhibition rooms within the locale will invite visitors to stroll through the
history of man and nature. Lectures, seminars and debates will bring to
Copacabana the discussions slotted for Rio+20, apart from offering visitors a
tour through the history of mankind. The goal is to encourage reflection on the
contemporary world through various lectures, including “Dialogues on Climate
Change”, “Water Governance”, “Florestabilidade” (on forest management), “Social
Entrepreneurship Forum”, “Gender Equality” and “Sustainable Production and
Consumption”, among others.
