The National Demonstration Project on Epilepsy has sensitized epilepsy lay associations across the country in a joint effort to help bringing epilepsy out of the shadows in Brazil since 2003. The second edition of the National Week of Epilepsy took place in twenty-five cities covering all regions in the country. The main objective of this campaign was to bring awareness of this condition for the community and also for patients and their relatives. The strategy employed was an uniform message "Live with no seizure". There were distributions of folders, public manifestations, lectures, etc concentrated in a week of activities. In conclusion the II National Week of Epilepsy was a success and represented an important step towards promoting awareness of epilepsy, diminishing the associated stigma and improving the quality of life of people with epilepsy and their families.104245247LM, L., Sander, J.W.A., Projeto Demonstrativo em Epilepsia no Brasil (2003) Arquivos de Neuropsiquiatria, 6 (1), pp. 153-156Fernandes, P.T., Noronha, A.L., Cendes, F., Silvado, C., Guerreiro, C.A., Li, L.M., Relatório do I Encontro Nacional de Associações e Grupos de Pacientes com Epilepsia (2003) J Epil Clin Neurophysiol, 9 (2), pp. 93-96(2003) Revista Sem Crise, 3 (SUPL 1). , http://www.aspebrasil.org, Disponível emSem Crise, R., (2003), (5). , http://www.aspebrasil. org, Disponível emFernandes, P.T., Leitão, L.M., Souza, R.J., Araújo, M.A.A., Lemos, L.C., Mendonça, M.M., Giombelli, A., Li, L.M., Relatório do II Encontro Nacional de Associações e Grupos de Pacientes com Epilepsia (2004) J Epil Clin Neurophysiol, 10 (2), pp. 117-120Sem Crise, R., (2004), (8). , http://www.aspebrasil. org, Disponível em
