| Organizational structure: |
Internationally, the network is co-founder and member of the Global Campaign for Education (CGE), of the Latin American Campaign for the Right to Education (Clade), and creator, founder, and member of the Lusophone Network for the Right to Education (ReLus).
The National Meeting (Assembly) of the BCRE takes place every two years and is the space destined to evaluate the work carried out and to define the Campaign's performance guidelines for the next biennium. Representatives from the entire network participate - primarily from the Steering Committee and Regional Committees. The National Meeting is the primary forum for defining the political agenda.
BCRE’s Steering Committee is composed of 10 Brazilian civil society institutions, having a plural and comprehensive composition. SC meets personally at least twice a year, but always exchange and make decisions through a virtual group. The composition has rarely changed, as most of organizations are in the core of BCRE’s formulation and actions, but in 2020 there’s a growing debate to add some very active activists from the network at the Steering Committee, as the network is becoming more and more made of persons not only representations of member organizations. Those refreshing body rules are being debated through the Internal Regulation creating process, that has being held since 2018 and will finish in 2020. Until now, any changes in SC composition are suggested by its members and must be approved by its majority.
Based on the guidelines defined in the National Campaign Meeting and based on proposals and inputs presented by the General Coordination, it is the Steering Committee that guides the Campaign's guidelines, focus, and line of action.
BCRE has a team of professionals, based in São Paulo, that makes up the General Coordination. The Coordination is responsible for putting into action BCRE’s political guidelines, defined in the National Meeting and discussed jointly with the Steering Committee. It must also support and mobilize the entire network within the scope of the Regional Committees. The coordinators of the Brazilian Campaign for the Right to Education are the spokespersons for the network.
The Brazilian Campaign for the Right to Education is also constituted in a network, capillarizing its performance, in order to have local representations established in all regions of Brazil, through its Regional Committees. They work at the municipal and state level to guarantee the right to education, strengthening the impact at the federal level. The regional committees make up the Campaign's social base throughout Brazil. They are made up of local entities and activists who identify with the mission and purposes of the Campaign. Today, acting through its network of more than 200 civil society organizations and its 24 Regional Committees (23 states + Federal District), it is considered the largest articulation in the field of education in Brazil.
This entire structure is legally supported by the Instituto Campanha association, whose assembly is held once a year and whose composition is made up of its founding members and other people who have being working constantly and historically in the Campaign. Its minutes, financial statements and other documents are always being updated and up to date. The formal basis is the Association Statute.
The network is governed by a Charter of Principles, which has existed since the beginning of the Institution's history, and which is in a updating process, through a democratic structure created in 2018, composed of representations of each governance group in the network. In this same structure and process, an Internal Regulation is being created - to make the network's operating mode official - and Programmatic Letters - which systematize the network's positioning on various themes and agendas. Both documents will be approved by the Assembly to be held in 2020. |
