Brazilian Studies Seminar Centre for Research on Latin America and the Caribbean (CERLAC) York University Presents Sandro Miranda and Felipe Scarpelli on February 04th 2009 Title of proposed talk: “Celebrating and reflecting on the first anniversary of Pan TV” Created in 2008 by a group of professionals from various areas, including journalism, photography, music, radio and television, the PanTV team approaches daily issues in a different and innovative way of education and entertainment. PanTV’s mission is to promote the integration between the English and Portuguese-speaking population in Canada through an online video/TV channel.
