8th South American Congress in Brazil May 2026
From 5 to 8 May 2026, the 8th South American Congress took place in Bertioga, marking the fourth time the event had been held in Brazil. Among the nearly 100 participants were people from Colombia, Argentina, Russia and Germany. Some of them had already attended several congresses and meet regularly to prepare for and follow up on the event.
The holiday resort, situated right on the sandy beach, was the ideal setting for a wide variety of activities. There were art workshops, chocolate-making sessions, music-making and in-depth discussions on the conference theme. There was an inclusive dance party, a visit to the botanical gardens and, one of the highlights, an activity day on the beach. Wheelchair users were able to bathe in the waves, whilst blind people and others could even ride the waves on a board. The weather was brilliant and so was the atmosphere.
Everyone is waiting to find out when and where the 9th Congress will be held.
