Resumo: The Fórum de Assistência Social* (FAS) in the city of São Paulo celebrated its 25th anniversary and it has had a history of articulation of civil society to implement the Social Assistance policy in the municipality. In the midst of many struggles and achievements, it has become a legitimate space for social participation, as it is present in discussions related to the municipality's Social Assistance and it has a role, in some way, in the decisions that will affect these policies. In 2016 there was a split in this group, with two FAS in the city, dividing the participants and leading to questions about the loss of their strength and effectiveness as a movement. Therefore, the present study aims to analyze how the São Paulo FAS are collaborating for social participation, based on the experience of social workers. The idea of social participation is based on participatory democracy, but includes psychosocial participation, which is not just a rational action and allows individuals to strengthen themselves in meetings, seeking the transformation of the society they live in. The research was carried out based on participant observation in the two Forums, recording the information in a field diary, in order to understand the dynamics of the groups. Subsequently, we conducted interviews with the social workers who currently participate in these spaces. From the field diary and the interviews, it was possible to extract units of analysis, the first on the functioning and organization of the FAS and the second, categories of analysis, being analyzed from the perspective of the dialectical method, proposed by Vigotski, which revealed the perspective of social workers on this space of participation. We conclude, therefore, that the FAS have been contributing to social participation, enabling a space where meetings take place, making it possible for professionals to engage with others, sharing questions regarding their daily work in Social Assistance and learning about this policy, improving their professional practice
