For me, being a Politize Ambassador! It means empowering myself with topics that were already mine and I didn’t know, or perhaps I wasn’t so aware of.
Felipe Amorim, Politize! Ambassador
The city I live in is very precarious when it comes to public policy. So, founding an Embassy here was a way of “opening” the range of political knowledge and thank God, today, the impact is recognized.
Éverton Souza, Embaixador Politize!
The great contribution (of the Politize materials!) is in relation to healthy communication which, consequently, ends up influencing the maintenance of democracy.”
Cecília Neri,
School Teacher
Be a Politize collaborator! is to be motivated every day in favor of education in our country. Politize! It is a gateway to the search for knowledge and collective awareness. Be Politicize! is to be our best version every day.

Our goal is to eventually cover the entire region with our full portfolio. We may not know exactly when, but it’s a certainty that we will achieve it. Count on it!
