Political participation is a fundamental element in the composition of democracy. Its field of research is wide and growing, including due to evidence of new forms of political action not directly related to the electoral moment. Thus, it is possible to observe the emergence of new forms of participation and their modalities or the re-signification of old ones. In this path, the dynamics of a modality of access to politics can be observed - the internship-visit programs within the scope of the Legislative branch -, which can represent the expansion of spaces for political participation. This work addresses the case of the Councilman Apprentice internship-visit Program within the City Council of João Pessoa/PB, with the aim of understanding its operation and examining it as an instrument to promote political participation in the Municipality of João Pessoa/PB. The approach was qualitative, with a case study carried out with the verification of bibliographic basis for the debate on political participation in the context of democracy in the contemporary world, with exploratory analysis of the Councilman Apprentice internship-visit Program, including legislative and normative documents, as well as semi-structured interviews with individuals who participated in the experience provided by the Program between 2015 and 2019. It was verified if there is any correlation of the data obtained with the concepts of political participation exposed and worked on in this research. In this context, it was observed that the Councilman Apprentice provides participants with opportunities to experience activities that correspond to political participation, especially in the context of representative democracy.
