This study addresses participation of civil society at the level of public sphere, from the following problem of research: how have been constituted participation of civil society organizations within non-formal education, mobilization and social control together with the public sphere during the period from 2002 to 2012? The overall objective of this study is to analyze what participation of civil society organizations within the non-formal education, mobilization and social control, along the public sphere in order to qualify participatory processes have been constituted like. Qualitative research was based on the method of Dialectical and Historical Materialism based on a set of theoretical frameworks related to core theoretical categories, which are: public sphere, social policies, social participation, non-formal education, social mobilization and social control from critical matrix of social thinking, particularly in the area of Applied Social Sciences (Law, Sociology, Education and Social Services). Techniques used to data collection, processing and analysis refer to: Oral History, Questionnaire, Research Document and Content Analysis, having as empirical locus Caritas Brasileira. Results obtained indicate: Non-Formal Education focused on a model of lifelong learning, which has roots in the methodology of popular education. Its materialization occurs through educational processes collectively, democratically and participatory constructed, by subjects involved in territories where they live; social mobilization set up as a permanent process of organization and articulation of different social subjects, around common goals, in order to change their reality; social control is constituted as a process of participation of civil society organizations in order to intervene in public administration. It makes possible collectively through formulation, determination, financial management, monitoring implementation and evaluation of public policies. The effective social control supposes a link between the institutionalized and non-institutionalized participation. It also verified that social participation constitutes as a collective process of exercise of participatory democracy. The aim is strengthen capacity of advocacy of subjects involved in decision making, along with the public sphere, in order to guarantee and expand rights and public policy. In this light, the conclusion of this study reminds us of emergency following thesis: participation of civil society in the constitution of the public sphere is part of the complex, contradictory and fruitful process of democratization, which translates in contention for a State model. In this process, the incidence of such participation has been making effective the institutionalized and non-institutionalized spaces from multiple domains, organizations, individuals and experiences that reflect class interests. Therefore, it will strengthen the constitution of this society as political society, with potentiality to a counter-hegemonic construction of another societal project. This would let overcome the current project that reduces such participation to a complementary function in implementing the public social policies.
