Resumen:
Our society shows an increasing concern for adolescence,
which is represented not only as a “phase of life”, but also as a period
that is always problematic. Adolescents, as for them, are considered
as subjects of such necessities as specific health aids. In practice,
however, very little has been done for adolescents as subjects of
rights, in spite of the debate about the Statute of Children and
Adolescents. Based on a criticism to this position, this paper aims
at presenting an experience of research intervention in non-formal education with a group of low-class adolescents, in which we
intend to discuss the current notion of adolescence, allowing a
kind of identification and (re)construction of other meanings.
