Culture plays a vital role in community life, serving as a powerful vehicle toward achieving a sustainable way of living.

Our Cultural Approach

Culture has always been at the heart of our work. Long before Ecosustain existed formally, we were actively strengthening community identity through arts, music, and shared traditions. From organising the First and Second International Cultural Meeting in Quirinópolis — bringing together seven nationalities in celebration of diversity — to organizging and participating in countless local music events, supporting artisans, and creating art with regional materials, our path has always been deeply cultural.

The Cultural Hub at the future EcoCentre will carry this legacy forward: a living space where community, tradition, creativity and sustainability come together.

Arts, Music and Traditions

Children's literature, encompassing reading, stories, and books, plays a crucial role in a child's development. Unfortunately, many young ones in Brazil miss out on this enriching experience. In collaboration with My Sweet Memory Book and the Instituto Solar de Fralães, The Corrêa Neves Family Book Company, along with founders João and Patricia, we are excited to introduce the Mini Authors project. This initiative aims not only to introduce children's literature and nurture reading habits among families and children but also to cultivate a community of budding authors. Our goal is to publish 100 self-authored books by 2030. These books will feature original and authentic stories, fully illustrated and crafted by the children and their families with our expert guidance.

ECOSUSTAIN FUNDATION

ECOSUSTAIN FOUNDATION is a UK-based non-profit organisation working with rural and marginalised communities in Brazil to build a fair, circular, and climate-resilient economy.
We believe that sustainability starts at the community level — by empowering people to turn local challenges into opportunities for environmental regeneration, income creation, and dignity.

Our mission is to connect practical environmental solutions with social inclusion. We transform waste into resources, pollution into livelihoods, and traditional knowledge into sustainable innovation.
