Abstract

Social participation is essential for the process of Health Promotion, and it must be motivated since childhood. The objective of this work is to present a retrospective analysis of the expenence of a Children Administration in a Residential Building, by focusing on its interfenng factors, possibilities and limits. Such experience was an anempt to mo^hvate children to participate actively and responsibly in the matters, decisions and subjects of the building which were part of their irnerests and necessities. The analysis shows that the Children Administration promoted the personal and collective development of tbose children, who got involved actively in other events and subjects of the building by presenting ideas and trying to solve problems. The analysis made it possible to identify important aspects to be observed in fuvnre Children Administration proposals as a contnbution to motivate citizenship and active and real social participation of children and teenagers in several living social environments.
