MEU RIO

Meu Rio is an awesome force giving real strength to the collective voice of Rio de Janeiro’s youth. With thousands and thousands of young people signed up, it’s a platform politicians can’t ignore, and since its launch in 2011 it has had some considerable wins, adding further to its reputation as a powerful network of youth.

Blocking corrupt politicians, protecting a school from closure and preserving environmental policies in the city are amongst its triumphs so far. But its most considerable achievement is proving that an organized collaborative, participatory group of young people can change their world.
