In 2019, it seems as though the world has taken more turns, our crises were more dramatic, and authorities’ attitudes, more risky and erratic for collectives and for collectivity in general.

1 “Virança” and “Viração” have the same root in portuguese, and relate to the verb “to turn”, that also means something like “to make happen”, “to use one’s resources in a creative way in order to get things done”; thus, the use of “turning points” in the title and throughout the text, in reference to our name. “Viração” can also mean a “fresh, gentle breeze or wind that usually blows in the afternoon from the sea to the land; sea breeze.”

Programs Youth Press Agency Youth Press Agency is a multimedia platform idealized, managed and executed by adolescents and youth, mediated by educommunicators from Viração and international partners. It has centers of activity and correspondents in Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, Italy and Portugal. It aims to promote the active citizenship of adolescents and young people through processes, actions and products of communication and social mobilization. The program started in 2005 with the educommunicative coverage of the World Social Forum, in Porto Alegre, and consolidated itself as a permanent activity of the organization. With the guidance of our communication and education team, young people produce news for the Agency’s online portal, covering current topics from their points of view and experiences.

11


In addition to the virtual space, the Agency also has a face-to-face training cycle. The meetings articulate training activities on communication and human rights, gathering teenagers and young people from different parts of the city.

Luz, Câmera, Viração! (Lights, Camera, “Viraction”!) The youth of the project Jovens Comunicadores (Youth Communicators), from AJN (Agência Jovem de Notícias, brazilian branch of the Youth Press Agency), invited the psychotherapist Marcela Rezende for a conversation about mental health and issues of the young body.

Café de Quebra (Hood Café) In February, the Jovens Comunicadores (Youth Communicators) team, from Youth Press Agency, went to the Fábrica de Cultura of Jardim São Luis (South Zone of São Paulo) and covered the event that celebrated 2 years of Café de Quebra. There, the collective promoted the first edition of “FeirArte” – an exhibition of art, fashion, books and gastronomy – and held a meeting between creative and entrepreneurial powers from the periphery.

Viração Magazine Viração Magazine was born in 2003 from an uncomfortable perception: the lack of a publication aimed at teenagers and young people that involved them in the production process. Since its emergence, Viração Magazine has had several periodicities, being at first published monthly. In 2015, it became semiannual, thematic and with free distribution, in order to enhance the production of online content through the Youth Press Agency. Today, through the production of content from youth to youth, Viração Magazine promotes the defense and guarantee of the rights of Brazilian adolescents and young people, in addition to enabling a social mobilization network. The publications address topics such as human rights, communication, youth, culture, behavior and the environment.

16


In 2018, Viração magazine continued carrying out its collaborative methodology for the production of local content. In total, 37 adolescents and young people from six states of Brazil (Bahia, Federal District, Pará, Rio de Janeiro, Rio Grande do Sul and São Paulo) were involved in the production. The digital version of the magazine is available online for free access on the Issuu Platform. Access: www.issuu.com/viracao

Four centers were mobilized throughout the project, two each year. One branch took place at the Viração headquarters (center of São Paulo) and the others at local partners, such as UNAS Heliópolis

Specific activities Workshop on the 2030 Agenda for the Pesquisadores Sociais (Social Researchers) course Viração, through U-Report Brasil, carried out awareness activities on the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (UN Brazil) with young people from Jardim Ângela, a neighborhood located on the outskirts of the south zone of the city of São Paulo. The activities were part of the Pesquisadores Sociais (Social Researchers) course, a project by the Pró-Reitoria de Cultura e Relações Comunitárias (Dean of Culture and Community Relations) at PUC-SP. In it, adolescents and youth participated in a training day on the their communities.

during the workshops on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Viração co-created a questionnaire with the adolescents and youth participating in the course. It was broadcasted through U-Report, disseminated by local community media outlets and by the youth themselves. The questionnaire mapped data and opinions of adolescents and youth living in the M’Boi Mirim and Campo Limpo regions on access to higher education. The results were shared with the community at the VIII Fórum Social Sul (VIII South Social Forum), an event that opens a space for the exchange of ideas and experiences between residents, collectives and social movements from the city’s outskirts.

International Vira Europe Since 2016, Viração started to operate with its own legal configuration in Italy, the Viração & Jangada, resulting from the merge between Viração and Jangada Association, which existed for more than 20 years. The organization acts as the international partner of the Brazilian organization. In 2018, Viração & Jangada promoted nine projects in the Trentino-Alto Adige region and in 3 other regions of Italy, especially in the South. The Climate Watch project, with the participation of 20 youth and researchers from high schools and the University of Trento, is one of them. It consists in a planetary citizenship education Project, started in 2018. In 2019, it promoted training courses for 14 high school and university students.

One of the project’s most important activities was the educommunicative coverage of the UN Climate Conference in Madrid (Spain), COP25, held by 33 young people from 8 countries (Italy, Brazil, Spain, Portugal, Armenia, Argentina, Colombia and Costa Rica).

In addition, since 2010, Viração & Jangada coordinates in Italy the European project “Let’s Take Care of the Planet”, carried out in partnership with the National Research Center of Bologna (CNR). It is a participatory process that invites students to discuss sustainable development, take on individual and collective responsibilities, and carry out local actions to mitigate and adapt to climate change. In 2019, around 1400 students and 60 teachers from 9 schools in 3 cities and 3 regions of Italy (Trentino, Puglia, and Sicily) participated in the project. In partnership with the European Research Center Jean Monnet, Viração & Jangada carried out the artistic project “Em Clima de Poesia” (“In the Mood for Poetry” 1), a series of four postcards created by the artist thousand copies were distributed at cultural and social events to raise awareness of the population on issues related to climate emergence and migration. 1 In portuguese, the word “clima” means both “mood” and “climate”.

The meeting sought to foster a network among those present to provide access to the necessary support so that the solutions developed could be released to the world. Annual Report _ 2019 Viração’s

1 is a research created by Em Movimento in partnership with the Pacto das Juventudes pelos ODS (Youth Pact by the SDGs), two large networks of organizations that work to mobilize stakeholders in order to empower youths. The research was created from the perception that there is little systematized, deepened and consolidated data gathered in one place on the situation of Brazilian youth. Thus, Atlas’ proposal is to compile, translate and organize all this information in a more complete survey on the situation of young people in Brazil, on a single platform with open and completely free data. For this event, we accessed data from the first quantitative stage of the research, carried out in partnership with Fundação Getúlio Vargas’ (Getúlio Vargas Foundation) Social Policy Department.
