The coordinator of the Center for Justice and Society of FGV's Rio de Janeiro Law School (CJUS), Daniel Vargas, was at Harvard University for the 1st Brazilian Undergraduate Student Conference (BrazUSC) - a meeting that brought together Brazilian students at American universities, scholars, entrepreneurs and political leaders to promote interaction among students and discuss ways of engaging the issues in Brazil in the present.At the seminar, Daniel Vargas spoke about the rise of the working class and emerging entrepreneurs in the country, and how these factors influence the Brazilian democracy. I've discussed how the emergence of this new social group is already impacting the way we understand the economy, culture, social dynamics and how it now begins to affect politics, with new speeches, leaders and ways to participate in public life, he explained.According to him, such moves create new ways of engaging in politics, generating social innovation. An increasing number of young people in many countries, but also in Brazil, continuously generate new ways to tackle old problems in areas, such as education, health, local development and management, explained the professor.The businessman Jorge Paulo Lemann and congressmen Marcelo Freixo and Manuela D'Ávila also attended BrazUSC.About BrazUSCBrazUSC was created by a group of Brazilian students from Harvard, Columbia and Brown. They've identified the need for a connection platform among students about topics and discussions related to Brazil.We want to hear representatives of each sector (public, private and the third sector) telling their career experiences and challenges. The plan is to learn how young people can engage to contribute to Brazil's development, said the general vice-director of BrazUSC, João Henrique Vogel, to an article at the news website G1. According to the students, the plan is to turn the event into an itinerant seminar and to have another American institution hosting it next year.
