Abstract

This toolkit provides tools, concepts and evidence-based information of the model of bottom-up social development found in favela organisations from the lessons and research findings of Underground Sociabilities, an international and inter-institutional partnership that studied the identity, culture and resilience of favela communities in Rio de Janeiro.

This practical guide is directed at policy-makers, activists, practitioners, community leaders, teachers, youth mobilisers and policy-makers interested in successful strategies and innovative approaches being developed in Brazil for working with grassroots organisations and for designing policy.
