The Feira de Ideias (Ideas Fair), an initiative by Conectas Direitos Humanos together with Sesc São Paulo, was created to promote and disclose projects on the promotion and achievement of human rights. The event has published its list of initiatives selected for the 2025 edition, which will take place on the 5th and 6th of December, at Sesc 24 de Maio, in São Paulo.
Up to 20 proposals were selected, divided into the categories of visual arts, audiovisual, photography, social or community initiatives, and journalism, being presented to the public in three formats: exhibit table, LCD screen exhibit, and totem.
