Youth App
Juventude (lit. Youth) was a smartphone app developed by the National Secretary for Youth and SERPRO, in 2015, for the Third National Youth Conference. The main goal of the app was to collect contributions from youth all over the country to inform the National Plan for the Youth, defining policies to guide the youth population for the next 10 years. Through the app, youth citizens could vote on delegates and the proposals to represent their interests in the Third National Conference occurring in Brasilia that same year. In the end, there were 305 proposals and 484 elected delegates.
