The Museum of the Republic receives projections with Brasil's agenda during the G20 Presidency

On the day that Brasil assumed the rotating Presidency of the G20, this Friday, December 1, the Museum of the Republic in Brasilia received a series of projections with the main agendas of the Brazilian administration at the head of the group that brings together the world's 19 largest economies, the European Union and, as from this year, also the African Union.
The mandate is to last one year and will end on November 30, 2024. It will be the first time that Brasil has held this position in the history of the group in its current format. At the leadership of the G20, Brasil will focus on the priority subjects of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva's third mandate: the fight against hunger, poverty and inequality; the three dimensions of sustainable development (economic, social and environmental); and the reform of global governance.
Those who passed by the Museum of the Republic on Friday night were able to see, on the walls of the monument, more details about what Brasil's action will look like, which includes the organization of more than 100 working group meetings and around 20 ministerial meetings, culminating in the Summit of Heads of Government and State to be held in Rio de Janeiro on November 18 and 19, 2024.
Public servant Anderson Araújo believes that Brasil's message to the G20 Presidency represents a change of direction for the country. "I thought the phrases and images were very democratic, something that had been missing for a while. At first, it shows a new reality for the country. I think things tend to change from now on. They were stopped for four years and now they're going to get better," he affirmed.
Book editor Joaquim Felipe highlighted the importance of the projection occurring in the central area of Brasília. "It's a strategic location, next to the bus station. The message is super important. It impacts so many people passing by and, because it's an icon of Brasília, the museum will be able to give it the attention it needs," he said.
Art student Gabriel Tornich emphasized the didactic nature of the projections. "First of all, with regard to the format they chose, I thought it was interesting because it really caught the eye. It takes the whole museum and uses it as a support for a message to passers-by. I thought it was an interesting idea. The message is enlightening and easy to understand."
WEBSITES AND SOCIAL MEDIA - To mark the beginning of Brasil's leadership, from this Friday, the official website g20.org and all the G20 profiles on social media (Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, Facebook and Koo) will be managed by the Brazilian government, which will have posts in three languages: Portuguese, English and Spanish.
On the website, it will be possible to follow the news, download an e-book with general information about the bloc of the world's largest economies, find answers to frequently asked questions, find out how the working groups work (organized in the Sherpas and Finance Tracks) - which supervise the negotiations, discuss the points that form the summit's agenda and deal with strategic macroeconomic matters - as well as follow news about the summit in Brasil.
