The Brazine [ bɾazini ] was until 2007 the largest German-Brazilian magazine in Germany. The languages of the magazine were Brazilian Portuguese and German . It appeared for the first time in 2002 , at the time still conceived as a regional magazine for Berlin . The first Brazine front page featured a picture of a representative of the indigenous people of Brazil from the Amazon .
The magazine was financed with grants and donations and through advertisements and was distributed free of charge in places where Brazilians and Brazilians frequent. The magazine therefore quickly had a large number of regular readers. In addition to the Topicos , Brazine was one of the most important German-Brazilian magazines.
The Brazine was u. a. founded by Bianca Donatangelo, Arne Hillenhagen, David Taterka Prado and Georg Siebenbrodt and managed until 2007 and in 2007 had up to 400 volunteers.
history
After the first four editions in 2002, a non-profit association was founded and entered in the association register to support the media project.
Since then, the association has endeavored to promote democratic thinking, the idea of international understanding, communication between different cultures and societies and help to integrate the Latin American people in Europe. The focus of the work was Brazil and Germany . The Brazilian culture in Germany was also presented.
The purpose of the association was realized through media and events. The association was also represented on the Internet. He tried to keep his finger on the pulse of time to pass on information to interested parties via a variety of media. In this way he supported the multicultural and communicative togetherness within the scope of his possibilities. His focus was on publicizing the social situation of the people.
The association distributed pamphlets, flyers, cultural calendars and other publications free of charge to cultural institutions, cafes, libraries, institutes, etc. Its work is aimed at a Brazilian, Latin American, German and international audience. The association has always been independent and non-partisan when working with institutions, associations, organizations, municipal and state institutions as well as individuals.
The activities of the association were recognized by the Brazilian government as the first Brazilian Ponto de Cultura (cultural point). In addition, Brazine was one of the pioneers of a global network of Brazilian media abroad.
In August 2007, the association reported a break "due to the enormous time-consuming voluntary effort in the coordination and creation" of the magazine, from which it never returned.
target group
The target group of the magazine Brazine were Brazilians and Brazilianists living in Germany.
