Iorubaianidades Cultural Institute Brazil was founded in 2023 based on the expertise of Dr. Feva Omo Iyanu, dealing with American students on academic exchange in Brazil. The proposal is also presented as an offshoot of the Instituto Cultural Iorubaianidades itself, which began in December 2019, expanding its educational and cultural actions through international exchange. Since its founding, the Iorubaianidades Cultural Institute Brazil has been offering academic student exchange services (Portuguese Language and Culture study abroad programs), mainly to American students, through teaching the Brazilian language and culture. In addition to the programs, the institute has collaborated with the cultural integration of traditional Quilombola and peripheral communities in the exchange/construction of knowledge with American students and institutions. We look forward to welcoming you to our institute and, soon, beginning a journey of life transformation through the experiences in our student programs.
