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.
