Description
Summary:This work was intended to understand the rural youth as a protagonist, and how this protagonism may point out paths or incidences for development, which we will address here on "local development." The study concerns a concrete situation, a reality, which is the way in which rural youth is inserted. Methodologically, the debate was anchored from a bibliographical review. The analysis used to base the discussions and analyzes of the central themes was: on Local Development, from the perspective of Franco (1998), Jara (2001), Buarque (2002) and Tauk Santos (2013); the rural context was based on Veiga (2002) and Wanderley (2013); and the theme of rural youth were anchored from Castro (2008), Carneiro (1998), Abramo (1997), Wanderley (2007) and Martin-Barbero (2008). One of the conclusions of this research was that the protagonism allows the valorization and mobilization of the rural youths as endogenous energies, making them be references to the community and other youths. At the same time, it provides them with political and institutional spaces and also dialogues with other external local actors in the community. All these questions are clues and indications that the protagonism of rural youth favors the construction of local development in the community.
