MARTINS, Francisco André Silva  and  DAYRELL, Juarez Tarcísio. Juventude e participação: o grêmio estudantil como espaço educativo. Educ. Real. [online]. 2013, vol.38, n.04, pp.1267-1282. ISSN 0100-3143.

The present study aims to analyze the participation of young people in school life through the student council of a public high school at night, trying to understand the possible meanings and learning resulting from this type of participation for the students involved. The main methodological tools were the participant observation and the development of semi-structured interviews. The analysis of the data showed, among other things, that the guild is an important area of socialization for the young students, with emphasis on learning of collective experience in dealing with the conflicts and in the exercise of choices, among others.

Keywords : Youth; Participation; Student Council.
