This NGO applies a methodology that motivates young people between the ages 15-29, who live in the suburbs and slums, to convert ideas into intervention projects in their areas. Agência offers the possibility of the creation of a new space for the youth living in popular communities in Rio. With a direct financial backing from the Grupo, worth R$ 30.000,00, we are supporting 50 participants from different favelas for the project to be held in the second half of 2019. We hope that our contribution allows for the reinvention of a new site in the city, where these youngsters are standouts, and not just as a portrait of a person in need. Where they are recognized as creators, and not just subjects of social causes.
