Youth Observatory
The Youth Observatory was created by the Federal University of Minas Gerais, and is composed of citizens (especially students and educators) who monitor aspects related to the youth in Belo Horizonte, for example, public policies targeting young people, cultural practices and collective actions by the youth, and the design of methodologies for working with young people. The purpose of the observatory is to generate and disseminate information and stimulate a debate on affirmative actions for young people.

Mode of Selection of Participants: is the innovation open to all participants, access is restricted to some kind of condition, or both methods apply?
Type of participants: those who participate are individual citizens, civil society organizations, private stakeholders or a combination of those?
