Engajamundo

Engajamundo is a youth-led organization created by young people who believe on their responsibility as key part of the solution in order to face the greatest social and environmental challenges in our country and in the world! The organization mission is to make young Brazilians aware that by changing themselves, their environment/community and by engaging politically, they can transform their reality.

The Problem

Lack of awareness that by changing themselves, their environment/community and by engaging politically, they can transform their reality.

The Solution

To fulfill the objectives of the organization, Engajamundo uses mobilization, participation and activism tools, transmitted to young people through capacity building trainings and workshops with its own methodology. Engajamundo has two current structured trainings, both co-created within the members of the organization, based on Peer to Peer and Problem Based Learning methodologies, as well as our own experiences, especially in international conferences. The macro goals of the trainings are to raise awareness in global issues, change youth’s habits into more sustainable daily actions, and build their capacity for advocacy, mobilization, participation and activism so they can make a difference and act local, national and internationally. The methodologies use an action-based-learning approach, through dynamics, games and discussions focused on empowerment for mobilization, incidence and political participation of young people in diverse themes.
