In cooperation with the Brazilian government, 91Â鶹¹ú²ú¾«Æ·×ÔÅÄ supported the creation of the National Youth Secretariat (Secretaria Nacional de Juventude - SNJ) and the National Youth Council (Conselho Nacional de Juventude - CONJUVE) to implement youth policies for Brazil.

Between 2009 and 2020, UNESCO signed two Technical Cooperation agreements with SNJ, and a third one is on the way. Among the various documents prepared by the SNJ and supported by UNESCO stand out the National Youth Plan and the Youth Statute, which are normative reference tools for youth policies.

 

The current project, in partnership with UNESCO, aiming at youth participation in public policies, has impacted the lives of 47 million young Brazilians through various programs.

The agreed programs are listed below, which develop various actions benefiting the lives of these young people in 26 states and the Federal District of Brazil:

• ID Jovem (Youth Identity) 
• Youth Station 4.0
• National Youth System (SINAJUVE)
• Youth and Adult Education
• Youth Entrepreneurship
• Young People in Science, 
• Juventude Viva (Active Youth)

As an example, it is the ID Jovem Program. It has aimed at young people (in school or not) aged between 15 and 29 years old, belonging to families with a total monthly income of up to two minimum wages registered in the federal government's Social Single Registry Program (Cadastro Único – CAD Único). This program intends to assure rights to young people, such as: 

•    50% discount on cinemas, theatres, concerts and other artistic, cultural and sporting events

•    two free spaces and two spaces with a 50% discount on interstate transport by vehicle, vessel, or train

•    payment exemption from a fee for the issuance of a Student Identity Card

Between 2014 and 2018, UNESCO, in partnership with the SNJ and CONJUVE, prepared and published reports in Portuguese on youth vulnerability to gender and race-based violence. It also published the Map of Violence in Brazil series in partnership with SNJ and FLACSO. The data encountered by these publications have served as references for academic studies and different media until today. In addition, these reports have been highly relevant subsidies in implementing policies to combat violence at various government levels.

With the UNESCO technical cooperation, SNJ and CONJUVE have created State and Municipal Youth Councils, which have offered capacity-building courses to over 3 thousand managers and youth leaders to implement local youth policies in all regions of Brazil.
