CUFA in the U.S discussing Social Impact of Sports

Flavia Caetano, CUFA’s International coordinator and head of the Social Department will be in Atlanta on May 20 and 21st to partake in the “Plan OF Action”. The Plan of Action is a partnership between SEPPIR, (office of public policies and racial equality) and the United States Government, signed in 2008 in favor of the elimination of the ethnic- racial discrimination and the promotion of equality.


The Plan of Action agenda meets twice a year with the board of directors of each government to elaborate on performance strategies, conjuncture analysis and defining of combined actions.

As a part of the trip of May 12 through 21, a group of nine people consisting of directors of public policies, sports, tourism and non-profit representatives, will participate in a Visitor Itinerary Program between Washington and Atlanta, where they will debate the impact of social urban reform for the preparation of the world titles, athletes and sports projects, community organizations, business leaders and social entrepreneurs.

The Itinerary Visitors Program will enable a connection with various institutions with the same profile as CUFA, allowing for discussion concerning the impact that the building and preparations for the Olympic Games and the World Cup will have on the poor. The program is an initiative of the American Government coordinated by the American Embassy of Brazil.
