SESI Citizenship is a Brazilian program that aims to bring education, sports, leisure and culture to all pacified communities in the state of Rio de Janeiro,[1] i.e., those that already have the Pacifying Police Units (UPPs).[2] Created in August 2010, the program has already held about a million attendances in dozens of communities[3] and was awarded the prize "Citizenship Personality 2013", granted to individuals and institutions[4] who "contribute to the defense of civil rights, the strengthening of social promotion policies and the ethical values."[5]
Concept
SESI Citizenship is locally implemented whenever new UPPs are installed at each location.[6] Its goal is to bring leisure activities and social services for the inhabitants of the region - some of them in a permanent way.[7] According to previous researches that identify the main needs of each community,[8] it is created a plan of what will be offered to residents.[9] By the way, some of them are even hired to perform certain functions, such as: monitor the progress of work; identify the local needs further; promote, explain and enroll residents in activities and courses offered by the program.[10] The so-called "SESI Citizenship Agents" also encourage people to learn how to read and write for the first time.[11]
