Brazilian Community in Dublin

Brazilian students are an important part of Dublin’s international student community, but the community is spread across the city rather than concentrated in one official “Brazilian neighbourhood”.

Finding familiar connections

Brazilian students connect through school, work, food, churches, sports, events and social networks. For many newcomers, speaking Portuguese with people who understand the first months abroad can make the transition easier.
