This web site may be characterised by blog-style design,
journalistic writing and wealth of information on diverse
subjects.
The main goal
is
to document the growing number of links between Brazil and
Ireland. There are sections that focus on news, politics,
travel, trade, investments, research, academic and
humanitarian links, culture, literature, and history, as well
as upcoming events in the two countries. Another section deals
with the Irish in Brazil and Brazilians in Ireland. There is
an archive section and a chance to read today’s news from some
leading Brazilian and Irish newspapers. Various links are
included to facilitate trade, travel and communications. Of
particular interest is the bibliography Irish Literature in
Brazil since 1888. In the section on literary links there are details,
including press clippings, of the Bloomsday celebrations held
in seven Brazilian cities each year, as well as digital images
of James Joyce by Brazilian artist João Roth. In addition to
this, the site provides useful links in Portuguese with
opportunities for Brazilian students to study English in
Ireland. The section on historic links publishes articles by
selected scholars, including a description of the riot
provoked by Irish mercenaries in Rio in 1828. It also lists
Brazilian archives that contain papers on Irish immigration.
The section on Brazilians in Ireland includes contacts for the
samba and capoeira groups who performed on the streets of
Dublin during the 2006 World Cup Soccer matches, as well as
links to the web sites of support organisations, such as the
newly formed Centro de Apoia de Brasileiros na Irlanda -
CABI (Assistance Centre for Brazilians in Ireland), and
web sites set up by Brazilians in Dublin.
