Experiences lived, lessons learned

The aim of this study is to analyze the formative function of the experiences of resistance lived by two configurations: agroecological family farmers from the Territory of Identity of Irecê - TII and young participants from the Fatumbi Institute - Alto das Pombas, Salvador-BA, who plan their lives on the basis of building a more dignified and just society for the people of the countryside and the city. This research seeks to capture a story that takes place in configurations of resistance and mobilization, thus falling within the scope of qualitative research, using Participatory Research as its approach, using some techniques for analysing Educational Biography, based on Josso (2010), in which the formative, transformative and social intervention dimensions are integrated. Through the accounts of the young people interviewed, it was possible to identify that the educational experiences lived within the family, with friends, in the community, at school and at work contributed to the constitution of educational trajectories based on an ethical rationality, committed to the formation of subjects open to the encounter with the new, the unknown.
