Building a Participatory Democracy
Wanessa De Silva (15 years old), participant of the Youth Participatory Budget in the city of Barra Mansa, Brazil:
“I started participating in the participatory budget for children and young people as a game. I liked it so much that I plan to play this game my whole life. I will never forget this project.”
