The Bibliographic Data Bases bring together complete texts and abstracts of article, theses, and dissertations related to themes and projects in progress at CIESPI-PUC-Rio. They were constructed from an extensive scan of national and international academic writing. The entries organize the current theoretical and methodological debates on the Child and adolescent populations living in the situation of the streets in Brazil, Institutionalized youth populations, Child and youth participation in Latin America and Education in Early Childhood. The data bases have been designed to facilitate the search for and easy access to key texts and summaries as well as analyses of these materials by CIESPI staff.

The center was established in 2004 with the assistance of CIESPI in association with PUC-Rio and professionals as well as youth in the community of Rocinha who were active in the areas of education and culture. It is a Point of Culture characterized by mobile activities that focus on the areas of education, health and culture. Its aim is to build a space for debate and action that values Rocinha's history, memory, culture and educational practices, and its playfulness and freedom of creation.
