Abstract

The present work will present the educational life projects of 89 young residents of the favela da Maré, in Rio de Janeiro, who were in the last grade of High School. What motivated the study with the young people of the favela was the try to counter the common sense that they apprehend the young residents of the favelas like subjects conducive to illegal practices, which does not correspond to the reality. The research points out that they have distinct projects and create distinct ways to accomplish them. For this, i will present what i understand about favela, youth and life project and then the projects.
