As faces da inclusão social : uma análise do Projovem adolescente nos centros de referência da assistência social - CRAS de Aracaju/SE

Abstract

Due to the demands of social movements and the process of reopening policy, the Brazilian state, with the character of social regulator, has structured various social policies. We highlighted as key legal instruments in the formulation of these policies: the enactment of the 1988 Constitution and the creation of the Organic Law of Social - LOAS. For purposes of analysis of the current model of the National Social Assistance PNAS, implemented by the Lula government, we focus our attention on Projovem Adolescente Program, responsible for assisting young people aged 15-17 years who are surrounded by the social question. We conducted this research from the reality of Aracaju city, located in the State of Sergipe, in the year 2009. We listed as objectives of this thesis: to discuss the reasons that led to Projovem Adolescent; to outline the main contradictions in the program in Aracaju; to discuss how the development of the method of Projovem Adolescente happens in the educators‟ teaching practice; to identify the conceptions of education involved in the training of students. In order to investigate these goals, we worked methodically, from a Marxist perspective, with literature research, documentary, observations and semi-structured interviews conducted with students and educators in three Reference Centers for Social Assistance - CRAS. Despite the importance of social programs in the current discourse of social inclusion , guided by the Federal Government, we believe that they do not contribute, in fact, for the transformation of unequal class structure of the Brazilian state. With the analysis of concrete, designed from the documents that support Projovem Adolescente and dialogues with the individuals who perform and are served by the program, we identified the contradictions of the same, at least from four origins, namely: infrastructure; evasion of young students; formation of bonds between young people and Projovem; and the idea of training for adolescents, guided by the program. Accordingly, we talked in this dissertation about the contradiction between the thought and held for the program, represented by the masks of social inclusion and exclusion .
