Topical focus:
Country:
What locality or neighborhood will your project focus on?
São Paulo
Describe the specific community with whom you will be working.
Young people (15-25 years old) are in sub-regions of a neighborhood far away from the downtown and has few or no cultural facility where these young people can express themselves. To this is added the fact that the region receives a poor internet signal and the population got to spend a high amount monthly to have a reasonable quality. We hope to promote a space where young people seek new solutions to these problems.
What kinds of news, stories and other content will be created?
Will be registered, created and published contents that express the varied worldviews of young people. From a critical and reflective point of view, young people will produce videos and texts that express and gives visibility to local needs and characteristics of where they live. This content will be published on the internet through a blog and also disseminated to our contacts and networks in the city.
What technologies and digital tools do you plan to use in the trainings?
Describe the connections that you or your organization have already established that will contribute to the success of the project.
The workshops will be promoted by a group of theater that is part of networks composed of NGOs, schools, cultural institutions, theater groups and artists in general. We will seek a professional to talk to young people about the concept of citizen media. For the workshops the group already has local partners (02 basic health units and 01 NGO) that will lend their physical spaces to happen the project.
How many participants do you think will be involved in your project?
At each point of the neighbourhood will be formed groups of 10 to 15 youths. We intend to benefit 45 young people with this action. We will seek to create meaningful spaces within the meetings, so that young people feel interested to participate. The proponent group is composed of young people, fact that we believe facilitating dialogue and promote the project, beyond create opportunities for future partnerships between all participants.
Besides the microgrant funding, what other resources and support are you seeking for your project to ensure its success?
Support the worldwide release of the project. Support with expertise that the group does not dominate. Support in the design statement for other possible funders and / or indicating new funding to the group. Donation of equipment that can improve both the actions of the theater group as young people themselves.

Estamos todos integrantes do Núcleo Teatral Filhos da Dita, torcendo para que o Rising Voices seja um stakeholder do nosso projeto. Somos um grupo de jovens moradores de uma grande periferia, que, através do encontro com um grupo de teatro (Pombas Urbanas), descobriu no Teatro, novos caminhos para Vida! Queremos que outros jovens possam ter uma oportunidade como nós!
Há propostas do mundo todo, muito interessantes, diversas e bonitas. Que bom saber que há no mundo, gente esperançosa!
Grande abraço a todos os participantes.
