How to Organize a Mutirão

And what if the Mutirão is online?

A mutirão can also take place remotely. Digital mobilizations, awareness-raising campaigns, surveys, collective drawings, and webinars can bring together people from different territories around a shared purpose. When many people share information, stories, images, and educational messages, the impact grows and new networks emerge.

If the gathering is virtual, organize a simple agenda with timings, tasks, and goals. Identify who will facilitate, how long the session will last, and what each person needs to do. Send invitations in advance and include supporting materials. An initial welcome helps align expectations and strengthen the sense of community.

Make space for questions and exchange, document the meeting, and share the outcomes. Even in a digital environment, the mutirão continues to create connections, inspiration, and real impact.
