Eco Tour: Brazil

Presented as part of the Earth Up Conferenc

Breathe: A Story Eco Tour: Travel to Brazil’s amazing biomes with Brazilian storyteller Fabio Lisboa (and the traditional voices through him). From Indigenous peoples’ myths and ancient way of life to contemporary ecotales and organic farming, we will seek at the sunset, through the night and at the dawn of a new day, to know Curupira and other guardians of the forest. Let us help ourselves to breathe fresh air again and let our Mother Nature breathe in us.

Brazilian storyteller, speaker and author Fabio Lisboa has a degree in Languages and a postgraduate degree in Storytelling. He is a Storytelling Coach who highlights themes of Sustainability and the Culture of Peace. Fabio has performed and taught in Brazil, Argentina, Canada and United Arab Emirates.
