❑ TEXT 1:
Fighting Poverty and Social Exclusion
Poverty and social exclusion are a major challenge for
humanity. According to the Human Development Report 1997,
a quarter of the world's population remains in severe poverty,
despite the major advances in reducing poverty made during
the 20th century. At the same time, social inequality,
marginalization and discrimination still exclude many people
from full participation in economic, political and cultural life.
While poverty and social exclusion represent common
problems to policy makers in both poor and rich countries,
new initiatives have been developed to combat these
problems, initiatives which merit being called "Best Practices".
What are Best Practices? The idea of creating a database for Best Practices is based on the
observation that carefully documented case histories can provide excellent guidelines for policy
making and planning of new projects. The goal of a database on Best Practices is to present and
promote creative, successful and sustainable solutions to social problems arising from poverty
and social exclusion in order to build a bridge between experimental solutions, research and
policy.
Best Practices are model projects or policies aimed at improving the quality of life of individuals or
groups suffering from poverty or social exclusion. They are typically based on the cooperation
between national or local authorities, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and local
communities, the private sector, and academic communities. They include a variety of activities in
all parts of the world:
- In England: “The Big Issue”, a magazine sold by homeless people so they can earn a living and
re-integrate into society.
- In India: 4,000 women established the Shri Mahila SEWA Sahakari Bank to provide credit at
reasonable rates to self-employed women workers.
- In Brazil: the “Living Library” was created to make reading and writing an everyday activity for
poor children to combat high rates of failure at elementary school.
Calling these activities Best Practices is to suggest that they can and should be replicated, that
ideas can and should be generated from them, and that they can and should contribute to policy
development.

❑ TEXT 2:
The Living Library
1. From the mid 40's to the 70's, many big cities in Brazil
expanded because of internal migrations. During those years,
with the intensification of social problems, many nongovernmental organizations were created and many existing
Community Centers increased their activities to provide nonformal education for children and adolescents after school
hours.
2. The "Living Library" is a two-year project that aims at
making the act of reading and writing as an everyday activity
for poor children and their teachers. This would mean fewer
failures in elementary school and more children learning about their reality and how to change it.
These "libraries" are being implanted in Community Centers in charge of children and adolescents
living in the poor districts of the peripheral area of the big cities, where huge slums and acute
social problems are concentrated. To achieve its objective the Project team provides personal
development for the community teachers by preparing them to work with books and reading
activities in the context of poverty and deprivation of their institutions. Each library is unique,
taking into account the needs and the culture of the community where it is located.
3. Forty-four institutions took part in the selective process. Among those, 10 were chosen to
receive the library: two in Brasília and eight in São Paulo. Fourteen community teachers went
through a 44 hour training program. The first 10 libraries received 4,000 books directly benefiting
2,500 children and adolescents.
4. The first 10 libraries were implanted and are open to the community. They attend institutions
that look after street children from slums in the suburbs, children living in poor houses downtown,
children living in shelters, who have no parents or are temporarily separated from them.
