# LatAm Report: Community Calls and ETH Rio

February was a busy month with a lot of progress at Latam. With a solid foundation in place, our work has led us to an even greater contact with the community: we promote meetings twice a month in Portuguese and Spanish, completing  a 4 monthly meetings agenda.

In addition to our public KPIs (check [here](https://shapeshift.notion.site/ShapeShift-DAO-LatAm-f8d57f0bbf72462c8d479f06f0348823)) which are pretty focused on content flow, roadmap and bounties, this report talks about two specific major events that are taking place: Community Calls and ETH Rio.

We will also post reports containing weekly and monthly insights throughout this week, so stay with us and let's go together! 

## LatAm Community Calls

Defined in a calendar, contributors can meet and speak in their language, Portuguese and Spanish. We have experienced large groups on both calls, topics discussed range from SSDAO governance to deep defi talks among latam contributors with an Educational bias. 

In addition to good engagement rates, we distribute [poaps](https://app.poap.xyz/token/3954936) and tips among the participants 

> We are placing these events on DAO's Discord calendar during the preparation (a few days before)

## ETH Rio

The presence of SSDAO collaborators at [ETH Rio](https://www.ethereum.rio/) is a result of a collective effort at Growth WS, funding this action with its bounty funds. With leardership support @thesmith, @vlad and @guiria are ready to land in [ETH Rio](https://www.ethereum.rio/). Brazilian contributors can easily engage in the event and already have networking in place aiming spread DAO's word on [ETH Rio](https://www.ethereum.rio/), so que we can see ETH Rio incursion as a mission: in order to recognize territory, networking and business. 

LatAm have prepared some special features to mark its presence, theres a mintable physical card on the way and some local merch ideas.


Each physical card will contain a QR code which people can scan and mint an [special POAP](https://poap.gallery/event/30295).
