The Sivis Institute
Who we are
The Instituto Sivis is a nonpartisan and non-profit Civil Society Organization whose vision is a collaborative, honest and democratic Brazil. Our purpose is deepen the roots of democratic values in the hearts of Brazilians.
Why we exist
Brazil is a country marked by the lack of active participation by the population in public affairs and in the construction of politics. This is related to several problems, such as low political knowledge, lack of interest in the progress of political life, low levels of adherence to the democratic regime and distrust of strangers, which makes social cooperation difficult.
Whay we want
In view of the need to strengthen Brazilian citizenship, the path chosen by the Instituto Sivis is to invest in democratic culture. By activating the sense of responsibility and belonging, democratic culture fosters the notions of identity, connection and collectivity, based on democratic values, such as collaboration and honesty. A strong democratic culture creates a favorable environment for the unleashing of the potential of Brazilians, as it creates a fertile environment for the consolidation of political and social rights in the country.
The end result is to transform a Brazilian democratic culture in a positive way, favoring both sustainability and the improvement of democracy in the country. For that, from a systemic perspective, Sivis uses research, tools and social articulation, to identify and lead in the levels of political knowledge, contributing to the commitment to a democracy and stimulating engagement with community and political life.
Diagnosis: identifying what is and why that is so.
Through research, studies and analysis, we make a thorough diagnosis of the origin of our greatest social problems through a systemic perspective.
Strategic intervention:
Using reality to our advantage, we develop programs and projects that seek to empirically test ways for and find possible solutions to such transformations.
Mobilization:
We approach people and institutions that have the power to initiate such transformations, stimulating direct and coordinated action.

Values:
Focus on people
The intrinsic value of human life guides our work based on the respect and consideration given to each person, both within our institution and in society. We combine this with the vast potential of each of our professionals, encouraging them to achieve integral development so that we can achieve great quality and impact in our work and in Brazilian society.
Trust
Interpersonal relationships are built on the basis of mutual trust and respect (not only basic respect for people, but also showing concern and interest for others). When linked to the value of a plural society, thinking of the ability to understand different points of view in order to reach common ends, it is essential that these behaviors stimulate a culture of dialogue and a collaborative spirit. These values are based on integrity and transparency.
Willingness to risk
We understand willingness to risk as the search for innovation, without fear of failing or exposing ourselves. In this sense, adaptability and an openness to change are essential for a real possibility of cultural change in Brazilian society.
Results orientation
Achieving our vision depends as much on high idealism as on guidance and a commitment to common goals. In addition to doing things right, we seek to do the right things. Therefore, we must focus on what is essential in achieving our objectives and goals.
Responsability
To achieve our purpose, it is essential to have a competent, complementary team dedicated to institutional results. In this sense, we provide conscious autonomy for all our employees in order to stimulate an “owner’s look” towards the organization.
Valores:
Transparência
As relações interpessoais são construídas com base na confiança mútua e a transparência é a condição necessária para o seu saudável desenvolvimento. Na sua forma integral, a transparência envolve não apenas a ausência de mentira, mas também de omissão. Entendemos o papel fundamental que este valor, assim concebido, opera para o bem das organizações e para o bem comum da sociedade.
Comprometimento
O atingimento de nossa visão depende de pessoas engajadas em nossa causa e instituição, que compreendam o desafio no longo prazo. Por isso, não abrimos mão de um sólido comprometimento por parte de todos os que compartilham o nosso sonho.
Cultura de diálogo
Acreditamos no valor de uma sociedade plural e na capacidade de entendermos os diferentes pontos de vista para chegarmos a fins comuns. A cultura de diálogo é fundamental para garantir o respeito devido a cada pessoa.
Excelência
Cremos no vasto potencial de cada ser humano e que, ao estimularmos os nossos profissionais ao atingimento de um desenvolvimento integral, conseguiremos alcançar grande qualidade e impacto em nosso trabalho e na sociedade brasileira.
Primor pelo ser humano
O valor intrínseco da vida humana pauta o nosso trabalho a partir do respeito e consideração dados a cada pessoa, tanto na nossa instituição quanto na sociedade.
