History

Günter Klaus established RT2 São Paulo in 1971 together with Bernd Lorenz. They had a renaissance in 2001 after overcoming moments of trouble.

RT2 was chartered only in 1974 in the presence of Tablers from Austria, Germany (RT55 Kassel🔗), Luxemburg and Switzerland.

In 1977 RT3 was created in Tremembé in the northern part of the city of São Paulo.RT2 wished to extend to Rio de Janeiro creating a Brazilian-speaking Table as well as one more in São Paulo in the course of the same year (1977 and 1979).

In the 1980s RT2 made big steps forward to establish itself in the São Paulo German-speaking community. The Table has been recognized widely for the great work it has been doing so far, emerging popularity has been gained (Brooklin Feast e.g.). The benefits go to a group of children and adolescents in a suburb of São Paulo.

Comments in the local press show how far we have advanced and highlight what we have to offer to social life.

As in the 1950s Tables were founded in Germany and the rest of Europe, so one Table was founded in Brazil, São Paulo, by Danes, English and Germans in 1955.

In 2010, there were two active Round Table Clubs in Brazil, both located in São Paulo: the English-speaking RT São Paulo 1 and the German-speaking RT São Paulo 2.

Serviceprojekt 2010 ‑RT2 decided to support the German/Brazilian association ProBrasil🔗. Founded in 1999 by the German Uwe Weibrecht, the association first started as a medical aid project to make life easier for the people living in the crowded outskirts in Sao Paulo south-side.
