It all started from the will of a group of young idealists to contribute to
the establishment of a new political culture and practice in Brazil,
educating people into conscious, engaged citizenship. After 3 years, we
are proud to state that we have reached to over 10 million people all
over the world.
None of that would be possible without the effort of our team and of
the 150 partners that co-created all this with us. Thank you very much.

About us1.2

5. 41 INSTITUTIONAL |
In 2017 we had a 3-day team meeting full of dialogue and
reflection to review all that we have conquered in this
journey and energize ourselves for what is coming
We seized the occasion to make strong connection with
the pillars that sustain our cause. That resulted in brand
new mission, vision and values statements. Check it out:
Mission, Vision and Values1.3

6. Mission: strengthening democracy in Brazil,
taking political education to everyone, everywhere.
Vision: we will take high level political educa-
tion to ALL BRAZIL, overcoming and geographic,
cultural and economic barrier. We will educate
people from all social groups, specially young ones,
reaching to schools and communities fro north to
south. With that, we will not only have become the
main national reference in the subject, but also one
of the main responsible for transforming political
culture in Brazil, inspiring similar initiatives in other
countries. When we are done, Brazil with have
become a full democracy.
Knowledge, key that opens the door to
political power.
Plurality, the whole (society) is more than just
the sum of its parts (individuals).
Empathy, to understand and appreciate other
people's thinking and values as legitimate in the
democratic order.
Protagonism, citizen not only as spectator, bur
as active participant.

To us at Dr. Tickets it is always gratifying to spread relevant information to a
more conscious driving attitude and Politize! helped us to collaborate into
educating society in general. We wrote a series of articles in an accessible
language and the experience was excellent!
I have being a voluntary writer for Politize! since August 2017, but a fan much
longer. Collaborate with Politize! was one of the best challenges that I took on
the last year. A total commitment to the truth is required to build every text
and, moreover, exercising my creative writing skills to make the content uncom-
plicated, simple and good to read. Today I am part of a community worried
with the education of critical, clear-minded citizens and, of course, I am very
proud of that!
Democratize political education without falling onto partisanship and ideology
is a great challenge and rare quality that we admire in Politize!'s work. we
share these values in Clipping and, for tis reason, since 2016 have been raising
or engagement in the initiative.

17. 3 SPECIAL PROJECTS |
In February 2017, ou journey with Massive Open Online
Courses began. We studied many references and went hand-on
to develop our first course: "how to participate in the municipal
legislative mandate?" Over 20 lessons were published to a test
group. All the feedbacks were of great importance to improve
our method and go for a fit-to-"market" product in 2018, when
we launch the courses to the broad audience.

Ambassadors Network
1 6
In the end of 2017, we launched the Ambassador's Network, funded
through a crowdfunding campaign. The program will train young
leaders from all Brazil to be civic educators in their local context,
taking political education activities to schools, communities and
universities during electoral period.

18. In 2017 many strategies and methods were tested with students
from 11 to 17, providing us insights of where to go to develop a full,
scalable solution for civic education in Brazilian public schools, in
conformity with the new National Curriculum.
A d v a n c e s i n s c h o o l s
In 2017 we betted in new formats and partnerships that added even
more knowledge to our followers. Beside the usual short videos about
relevant issues, we have done interviews, monthly retrospectives,
lectures about current events and even a parody. At the end of the
year, we reach the mark of 10 thousand subscribers to our Youtube
channel, a gratifying reward for all the effort and another motivation
for 2018.
