State of Goiás: “Estudantes de Atitude”

Avatar: Official proposal Official proposal

Estudantes de Atitude is a civic education and participatory governance initiative implemented in the State of Goiás, Brazil, by the Office of the Comptroller General in partnership with the State Department of Education. 

The program aims to strengthen democratic culture by engaging public school students in practical experiences of citizenship, transparency, and social accountability. The initiative adapts the methodology of civic audits traditionally used for citizen oversight of public policies to the school environment. Through a structured and gamified process organized as a statewide educational challenge, students form teams guided by teacher-mentors and participate in a series of missions throughout the school year. 

The process begins with training activities that introduce the concepts of citizenship, public accountability, and the project's methodology. Students then conduct a civic audit of their schools using structured checklists, identifying challenges related to infrastructure, resource management, and school life. Based on the results of this participatory diagnosis, student teams design and implement intervention projects aimed at improving their school communities. These actions may include physical improvements to school spaces, initiatives to strengthen transparency and collective decision-making, or educational and social activities that mobilize the broader school community. Since its launch in 2019, the initiative has expanded significantly and now reaches more than 800 public schools across the state, involving tens of thousands of students and teachers each year. 

The program is supported by a territorial network of Regional Education Coordinations that assist schools and help monitor the implementation of activities.  Beyond its direct educational impact, Estudantes de Atitude contributes to strengthening a broader ecosystem of citizen participation promoted by the state government. By enabling young people to experience democratic practices within their own schools, the initiative helps foster a culture of participation, responsibility, and civic engagement among new generations.
