Vidas em rede : analisando os percursos juvenis no programa de oportunidades e direitos socioeducativo do RS

Abstract

The present dissertation aims at analyzing the stay of young people that participated in the Opportunity and Socio-educational Rights Program in the state of Rio Grande do Sul in 2016 and 2017. Using as a theoretical horizon Nobert Elias, I intend to analyze through his concepts of social configuration and interdependence the journey of 33 young people that stayed in the program within the maximum stipulated deadline of 12 to 18 months. Using a qualitative methodology based on the documental analysis of the reports produced by the program's technicians in the institution O Pão dos Pobres de Santo Antônio, it was possible to verify, in depth, the trajectory of each young person during their time in the program. The hypothesis is centralized in the perspective that young people who participated in the program within the stipulated time kept their stay because of the built relationship network. Still, I aim at trying to make the constructions held visible within their journeys around the concepts of youth, life project and socio-education with the purpose of trying to understand how they are used. It was possible to confirm the hypothesis to the extent that the program acts as an important space to access networks of relationships and potentiate them to the extent that it is possible to visualize four main networks of relationships that are present and are always under negotiation during the construction of the life project of each young person in the program.
