Young People Have the Word
The "Young People Have the Word" program convenes a series of workshops to discuss issues relevant to young people, where they can participate in conditions of freedom of expression between peers, identifying their own needs and developing their own proposals. Thus, some of the topics that participants consider relevant and that emerged from the experience were, for example: insecurity, health, bullying, teen pregnancy, first jobs, culture and sports. Based on this initiative, the program sought to strengthen cohesion among young people through the development of practices of citizen participation, strengthening leadership and encouraging interests, debates and proposals to act as inputs for the development of policies and projects.
Institutional design
Formalization: is the innovation embedded in the constitution or legislation, in an administrative act, or not formalized at all?
Frequency: how often does the innovation take place: only once, sporadically, or is it permanent or regular?
Mode of Selection of Participants: is the innovation open to all participants, access is restricted to some kind of condition, or both methods apply?
Type of participants: those who participate are individual citizens, civil society organizations, private stakeholders or a combination of those?
Decisiveness: does the innovation takes binding, non-binding or no decision at all?
Co-governance: is there involvement of the government in the process or not?
