Webcitizen produces engagement
We nourish communities.
We provide the seed for
transformation.
Webcitizen acts in three ways:
Content
There’s no point in creating nice-looking websites without also having in-depth reporting by experienced journalists.
Events
We develop concepts for meetings, manage content, and offer coaching to create unforgettable experiences.
Applications
Having the right tool is an essential prerequisite for the community to find itself and change the world.
content
Quality content to show that climate change is already affecting our lives
If we learn how to deal with climatic changes, they need not be a tragedy. To mobilize Brazil, we created a site full of varied content for the British Embassy and for the Estadão newspaper - photos, videos, animation, graphics, reports, articles and interviews. Winner of the Journalists and Co. HSBC Press and Sustainability Prizes

Oh minha gente, ficou bacana demais o video!
Olá, posso ajudar com fotografia e textos, deixei os links com meu blog (texto e poesia) e do Flickr (minhas fotografias) ficaria muito feliz em ser útil no projeto, qualquer coisa me avisem por email por favor!
Esqueci de dizer que posso ajudar com ilustração também, meu portfólio está na página do Flickr!
Senti firmeza! Vamo que vamo…!
Parabéns pelo ato. Espero que um ótimo impacto aconteça.
Olá!
Sou estudante de marketing e estou procurando um estágio em uma empresa inovadora ou em uma organização não governamental, mas que sobretudo se preocupe com o engajamento do cidadão e que faça realmente a diferença na sociedade.
Gostei muito da idéia da Webcitizen e gostaria de saber se há alguma vaga disponível ou se eu posso mandar meu currículo para ficar no banco de dados.
Obrigada
