Constitution in Schools
Constitution in Schools is a civil society project that aims to educate young Brazilians on issues related to the Brazilian Federal Constitution, e.g. constitutional rights and duties, in order to strengthen their civic capacity. Those who participate in the project by giving the trainings do so on a voluntary basis, and the project targets young people who study in public schools. The project's volunteers also raise funds to provide educational opportunities for the students in the form of scholarships.
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?
