Formação para Cidadania e Controle Social via Educação a Distância
Resumo
Brazilian councils for the management of public policies are spaces for the exercise of citizenship, which requires preparation. This paper presents the results of the union between different public government institutions to offer an online course on Citizenship and Social Control. This initiative of education for transparency was intended to integrate the government and the civil society, as well as to foster transparency and enable society to perform the social control. The scientific publicization of the lessons learned in this initiative, which reached about 700 citizens by means of a Learning Management System, can spur new actions and reflections in this area.
