Internacional Affairs Forum in Brasília - International Cooperation

        Next week I'm going to a event that will be held here in the capital: FOCORI (II Forum Centro-Oeste de Relações Internacionais, in english it means 2nd *Centro-Oeste International Affairs Forum).[*Centro-oeste is the middle east region of Brazil. Its the region where the capital is located.]
        The main topic of this year's forum is : 'Is international cooperation possible?'.
        All activities will be somehow related to the main topic. We'll have groups and presentations about International Conflicts, Environment and International Inequality. There will be a mini course about Enterprise(?) diplomacy and a workshop about ONGs.
        The objective of the forum is to give the chance for the International Affairs students to increase their knowledge about these topics and talk with people that are Ph.d in these subjects. There will be the chance for us to make questions to have a better vision of the possible jobs that are offered for graduated I.A. students.
       The guest that called my attention the most was the Professor of Florida International University Nicholas Onuf. Well, it's not that i know a lot about him- although I have made researches already, it's not enough for me to say anything- It's just that  I got surprised that we'll have a foreigner to give us a speech. Yes, i wasn't expecting even knowing it's a international forum...(And  at the same time I'll be able to test my listening!!!!)
       So, I hope to have a wonderful experience this early September, because I'm sure this event will be of GREAT  importance for my graduation as a hole.
        I'm really sorry for the tiresome way I wrote this post, but I did this way because I just didn't manage to write any different from this XD. It's looking a lot like a composition for me. I'm feeling as if I'm going to imprint it and hand it to Rick(teacher).

Well, bye bye see you next post!

First day!!!!

      So finally, the blog everybody in the CAE class was asking for is here XD!!!! \O/

      OK, now, for real: I've finally made the blog so teacher Rick won't be upset for me being the only student aside from the English class blog project ^^. So, I'll update whenever possible with contents of my Friday CAE classes and, as a think I'm supposed to, with things from my routine: music, International Affairs matters (because I'm a university student of IA), books, and so on... And I'm really happy with this idea because, despite the fact I'm not the best writer, i like writing a lot. Well, that's all for now!!!
