Immersion in the heart of a people with roots
“It’s not we who walk in the forest, it’s the forest that walks in us.
– Ailton Krenak, Brazilian indigenous leader, philosopher and writer
Krahôdoki is an ethical and educational immersion project run by ABRAM, in partnership with Centro Cultural Kàjre and representatives of the Krahô people, in the state of Tocantins, north of the Brazilian Cerrado.
Its name combines “Krahô”, the host people, and the suffix -doki, the symbolic thread of our ethnotourism projects.
This project invites young Europeans to experience a direct encounter with an indigenous people, with deep respect for their culture, way of life and worldview. For several days, participants share in the daily life of a Krahô community: songs, crafts, forest walks, traditional gardening, collective cooking, rituals, games and oral transmission. They discover a different way of living on the land, educating children and forging human links.
But Krahôdoki isn’t just a journey: it’s a reciprocal commitment. It is part of a process of historical reparation, intercultural recognition and concrete cooperation. Part of the project’s proceeds support local initiatives selected in conjunction with Krahô partners: strengthening the cultural center, food self-sufficiency projects, revitalizing ancestral knowledge.
Through this experience, ABRAM aims to train ambassadors of respect, listening and justice. Young people capable of questioning their own reference points, engaging in in-depth dialogue with otherness, and building bridges between worlds.
