Participatório ? Participatory Observatory of the Youth
Participatório ? Observatório Participativo da Juventude (lit.

The National Secretariat of Youth describes the observatory?s objectives as an initiative that ?responds to the internal need for the mapping and systematization of information and data that can support the formulation of policies for the youth and is also a demand of the youth for a qualified space that provides reliable information, in which one can participate and discuss with other young people, with researchers and managers on their topics of interest and therefore be able to influence the agenda for the youth". It has six different environments for participation: (i) Thematic Bulletins; (ii) Electronic Youth and Public Policies Magazine; (iii) Digital Library; (iv) Center for Documentation and Research on Youth and Public Policies (CEDOC-PPJ); (v) Network of Researchers of the Youth; (vi) Data and indicators.
