%X This article seeks to analyse the perceptions of a
group of young Brazilians digital media users, on
the role of the Internet as a means to facilitating
dialogue between them and their elected representatives in the political sphere, based on the presuppositions of Paulo Freire’s pedagogy. The methodology
focused on the use of qualitative approaches which
involved in-depth, semi-structured interviews with
thirteen young people from São Paulo and Bahia who
participate in the online political participation program,
U Report. The findings suggest that the Internet is
seen as having a limited role in dialogic processes by
those interviewed, who also demonstrate that they
are aware of the national situation and the structuring
mechanisms of digital media.
