“One of the aims of Social Good Brazil is to create a rich and intelligent community for the exchange of innovative ideas that have great potential to be put into action as well as sharing initiatives that are already in practice” says Carolina de Andrade, Executive Director of Social Good Brazil.

They will hear about Social Good which is a concept of the digital culture which also names the global movement +SocialGood, of the United Nations Foundation and other important institutions.
