Abstract

This text is a report on the experience of the outreach project Observatory of Democracy, by implementing the Youth Parliament in Alfenas / MG. The project aimed to enhance spaces for training and for political democratic education and human rights education, articulating actions through the Youth Parliament. Its methodology consisted of planning and sharing workshops, lectures, plenary sessions and informational materials in partnership with civil entities and the City Council. It also reflects on the possibilities and limits of an outreach action in human rights education articulated through the Youth Parliament. Among the possibilities, the use of the structure and the thematic axes developed by the Assembly of Minas, the articulation between the legislative power, university and civil associations. Among the challenges, the low investment of the Chambers in political education and the consequent disarticulation of schools in educational actions.
