Join the 
King's Brazil Institute
 for the opening event of this year's 
Brazil Week
 featuring an evening of conversations about Brazil, and new powers place in a new global order.
Much of the world's rules have been set by Western countries. Until fairly recently, climate agreements, peace deals, and nuclear or financial meetings were held exclusively by nation-states, often those belonging to the OECD or G7. However, in recent years, new institutions have begun to challenge this global order. Initiatives such as IBSA, along with the hosting of major international events— in the case of Brazil this has included hosting the G20 and Climate summits—helped reshaping global governance.
On a sub-national level, during the COVID-19 pandemic, the absence of national-led policies to combat the virus led governors and mayors to take the lead in the response in Brazil. Similarly, in preparation for climate summits, cities have launched independent campaigns to influence environmental policies, with the Amazon Summit of Local Governments taking place as early as 2009.
Join us for an evening of conversations about Brazil, and new powers place in a new global order:
We will start the evening with an opening address by Dr Andreza Aruska de Souza Santos, Director of King's Brazil Institute (10 minutes).
The UK embassy in Brazil and the Brazilian Embassy in the UK will address the audience celebrating 200 years of Brazil-UK relations (10 minutes).
Our Keynote address will then be given by Dr Anit Mukherjee (30 minutes) with opportunity for a Q&A afterwards.
This event will be followed by a drinks reception. The reception will also feature a photo exhibition coordinated by Professor Andrea Cornwall and sponsored by the King’s Global Cultures Institute.

On May 21, I took my parents to visit the British Museum. The tour guide was enthusiastic and professional. If I didn&#39;t have a tour guide, I might have finished the tour in half an hour. The main reason was that I didn&#39;t learn history and geography well. With the guide&#39;s explanation, the three hours passed very quickly. This is my second time to book Ctrip&#39;s tour guide service to visit the British Museum. I still feel unsatisfied. The first time I came, I also booked Ctrip&#39;s tour guide service, which was very good.

Westminster Abbey

Night view

205***29

🏰 Westminster Abbey, it&#39;s really shocking! 📍 It&#39;s located in central London, close to the Parliament Building and Big Ben. The church is a prominent representation of British Gothic architecture, towering spires, exquisite carvings and beautifully painted glass windows, each detail shows an unparalleled artistic charm. Walking into the church, as if through time and space, is the holy place of the crowning of the British royal family, witnessing countless important moments in history. It is also a resting place for many celebrities, and great figures such as Newton, Darwin, Dickens have slept here, making people respect their contributions. Walking around, you can feel the solemnity of religion and the deep historical and cultural heritage. The church&#39;s Henry VII chapel is exquisite, with a fan-shaped arched roof and densely carved decorations, like a fairy tale fairyland. Whether it is an architecture lover or a historical and cultural fan, Westminster Abbey is definitely worth a visit. I believe you will be deeply impressed by its charm like me. 💕 highly recommend it to everyone! 💕

The London Eye, full name British Airways London Eye, is located on the banks of the Thames in London, England. It is the world&#39;s first and as of 2005 the largest observation wheel. It is one of London&#39;s landmarks and famous tourist attractions.

Windsor Castle

The Queen&#39;s favorite palace is very luxurious, but it is not allowed to take pictures. It can only be taken outside. When entering, a photo was taken and was stopped by the staff. Knowing the life of the royal family, Windsor Castle is generally very quiet.
