SPRINGS: YOUTH, EDUCATION AND CULTURE
The research project aims to investigate the relationship between teenagers and knowledge and the school, investigating the factors that encourage the engagement of teenagers in the school space, as well as those that can promote a rupture and contribute to school dropout. The research is anchored in the Extension Program Brota: Youth, Education and Culture, from UFMG, in partnership with the State University of Minas Gerais. The Program is developed at the Youth Reference Center of the Municipality of Belo Horizonte, and is linked to the Municipal Secretary of Education of Belo Horizonte (SMED-BH). The project integrates professors from Medicine, Psychology, Education, Languages, Dance, Visual Arts, Physical Education and Design courses, as well as Circus and Gastronomy professionals. The aspect of research/intervention with adolescents, students of municipal public schools, aims to create, with them, methodologies that provoke a new bond with knowledge, with culture and, consequently, with the school. With this research, we aim for a transdisciplinary approach to a complex problem such as school dropout, linking public universities, the municipal education network and adolescents.
