This project challenges you to create your own short video to show off your Portuguese language skills and your knowledge of Brazilian culture. The video you create can have the format you wish: a roleplay, a mini-documentary, news on TV, you name it! The most important thing is that it has to be done in the time frame of 3 minutes and you have to relate cultural aspects of one of the host cities to the event of the World Cup in Brazil.
