- Abstract
- The article provides an analysis of cultural cooperation between Brazil and the European Union during the first presidency of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and up to the beginning of the current one. The main focus is on the role of cultural diplomacy in strengthening bilateral relations and identifying new opportunities for interaction based on common priorities related to sustainable development. The article complements existing studies of Brazilian cultural diplomacy, emphasizing the role of the EU as an important partner in promoting Brazilian cultural values. The novelty of the approach lies in the fact that cultural cooperation is considered within the framework of CPLP, in addition, there is a systematization of data on modern initiatives, such as EUNIC and EULAT4Culture, which allows identifying opportunities for restoring cultural dialogue. To analyze and identify the directions and trends in the development of cultural diplomacy between Brazil and the EU, the work uses material related to a number of cultural projects. This topic reveals the importance of humanitarian cooperation and cultural dialogue as tools for strengthening partnership.
