THE PRIZE
The Betinho Award – Citizen Attitude, launched by COEP (National Social Mobilization Network) in 2008, aims to value people who fight against hunger and promote citizenship on a daily basis. It also wants to give a face, voice and recognition to those who actively participate in the community where they live and believe that everyone – in their own way – can do their part to build a better and fairer Brazil. The Award also aims to encourage everyone to find their way of participating.
SELECTION PROCESS – THE NOMINEES
In each municipality listed on the website, the COEP Network and partner organizations nominate 03 people to participate in the Award, based on locally developed initiatives. Nominees for the award in this edition are people from communities that actively participate in promoting improved quality of life in their region or people who, although not community members, actively participate and with personal dedication to community work.
HOW TO VOTE
You can participate by selecting from those nominated in your region and municipality (when applicable), the one who, in your opinion, develops the work that most contributes to strengthening citizenship in low-income communities.
