This article examines the social participation of the C20 in the G20, focusing on the inclusion of civil society in the group's formal meetings through the proposal of a Social G20 by Brazil during its presidency in 2024, with an emphasis on the Education Working Group. The case study analyzes the dynamics of the participation of C20 delegates as interlocutors in the G20, with access to discussions and debates on educational policies, participating in the negotiations. The qualitative methodology employed includes analysis of materials, discourse, and participant research, utilizing documents and participation in the meetings analyzed in 2024: on education professionals and the use of technology in education. The results highlight the importance of the articulation between the C20 and the G20 to promote inclusive and sustainable educational policies, already showing signs of impact in the formal construction of public commitments and of enforcement mechanisms and in the content of deliberations, providing greater representativeness and legitimacy to the group, in processes that can be deepened in case of continuation and improvement of this democratic practice.
