Brazilian Ecos Marathon

The Brazilian Ecos Marathon was a series of online webinars hosted on September 25th, 2020. The event featured professors and experts speaking on the importance of combating wildlife smuggling and preserving the environment. Hosted online and streamed on social media, over 12 hours of lectures and roundtables were made available online for free. 

The event reached over 30,000 people through social media and sought to educate the population on the importance of these themes. UNINTER is uniquely positioned to reach many students located in remote areas. Amongst them, communities deep in the Amazon, which are more directly in touch with wildlife and biodiversity than those in large urban areas.

Sustainability and biodiversity were some of the key themes, with specific lectures focusing on the critical consciousness of the audience on pertinent issues that affect Brazil and the world. 

Top 3 learnings:

1. Our students and general audience are interested in learning about environment and sustainability.
2. Through the Internet we can guarantee that our material reaches remote areas of our country.
3. Different topics within a specific environmental theme keep the audience participative and engaged.
