Young Communicators (Youth Press Agency Branch)

Sponsor: FUMCAD – Fundo Municipal da Criança e do Adolescente (Municipal Fund for the Rights of Children and Adolescents) of São Paulo

As previously presented, Youth Press Agency has an online portal powered by collaboration and young correspondents throughout Brazil, as well as training centers focused on communication and human rights.

In 2018 and 2019, the implementation of face-toface groups was funded by FUMCAD, within the scope of the Young Communicators project. 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

Organization (South Zone), at the Ocupação Cultural (Cultural Occupation) Mateus Santos (East Zone) and at CEU Parelheiros (South Zone).

Adolescents took part in a training process that articulates training activities on human rights and production techniques of different kinds of media, with practical processes of citizen participation, educational communication coverages, cartographic exploration of the city, creation of communication pieces and campaigns.
