Educação de jovens e adultos e economia solidária: das frustrações ao empoderamento do ser.

Abstract

The constant need for the human being to produce places the Solidarity Economy as an alternative to the competitive and unequal mode of production of capitalism. An economy focused on the principies of cooperation and self-management is an economy that aims at social equality. This study discusses the theme by revealing resilience as the innate ability of the human being to react confidently and consistently to adversity, reacting positively to unpleasant circumstances, linking this principie with obstacles faced in youth and adult education. lt is necessary to emphasize the importance of stimulating resilience in the participants of solidarity enterprises. It is verified that through strategies of resilience it is possible to observe the worker's valorization. Therefore, it is concluded that, in addition to trying to be seen in society as equals, these participants suffer from the lack of local incentive and low demand to buying crafts, as in the case of "Cooperativa Cuiuiú", analyzed in this study, through the contributions of a community artisan. From this, what is noticed are workers discouraged by the situation and exhausted with the responsibility of succeeding with the cooperative to compete with capitalism, independent of profit, according to the artisan.
