Abstract:

This article is based on a doctoral research and aims to understand and give visibility to forms of social participation of young people living in a peripheral community located on the coast of the state of São Paulo. It also tries to think about the production of health, found by the subjects themselves, seeking to reveal how young people in a context marked by inequality have faced it. The young participants of the study were involved in the activities of an NGO and a hip hop group, the researcher was ed. The results were constructed, based on the observations recorded in field diaries and interviews, and analyzed according to the Depth Hermeneutics methodology. They point out that building community ties expresses the participation of young people and contributes to tackling inequalities and social exclusion. Participation in groups has shown to be potent and able to configure processes of autonomy, caring for oneself and the other. However, they are shown as isolated initiativesother institutions. It is also a challenge to think of ways to understand the participation of young people, participating together with them in their lives in their contexts, making relationships horizontal and overcoming the idea of homogenization, control and tutelage of this population.
