RESUMO:

The concept of youth is a social construction that presents a series of interpretations. In this sense,
there is no consensus on this term, but today, young people are conceived as subjects of rights and
important social actors in contemporary society. Although that conception is the one that guides the
formulation of public policies in Brazil, we still live with dichotomous views that now consider this
segment as a social problem or a strategic actor of the country's development. In recent years, Brazilian
youth has emerged with prominence in society through mobilization processes and manifestations in
which they are protagonists, like protests in public spaces and occupation of public schools, acting as a
set of actors who confronts the order and the status quo. In this way, we point out some questions that
help us to delimit the objectives of this study: what is the role of the Social Movements of Youth in the
current social and political context in Brazil? What do youth social movements claim? How can their
claims contribute to the emancipation of youth? As objectives, we intend to discuss the praxis of youth
social movements in Brazil, based on their political action and, more specifically, to analyze the extent
to which the political action of those movements contributes to the construction of an emancipatory
project for youth. In order to achieve the mentioned objectives, we have proposed interviews with
representatives of youth social movements to understand and analyze their structure and organization,
as well as the perspective of reality transformation and emancipation that they point out. In addition to
the interviews, we have selected documents provided by the Social Movements of Youth or available
on their websites to supplement the information. The movements surveyed were: Levante Popular da
Juventude (LPJ), Rua anticapitalista, Pastoral da Juventude (PJ), Pastoral da Juventude Rural (PJR),
Pastoral da Juventude do Meio Popular (PJMP) and Fórum Nacional de Juventude Negra
(FONAJUNE). Their choice was based on national recognition – they are nationalized movements –

and we seek to guarantee a certain representation of youth (urban, rurala and black). The results point
out that social organization is important for its militants and, in this sense, they believe that youth have
much to contribute to the transformation of reality; in addition, we can notice new ways of political
participation which escape from conventional standards of participation, even if the traditional ones are
also important. We hope to have contributed with reflections that allow us to improve our
understanding of the youth social movements and their real possibilities of action, taking into account
not only the possible strategies of youth emancipation, but also the way in which their actions are
articulated with the perspective of overcoming the current sociability model.
