NASCIMENTO, Ivany Pinto  and  NASCIMENTO, Lourival. YOUNG BLIND FEELING YOUR LIFE PROJECTS A STUDY ON THEIR REPRESENTATIONS. ETD - Educ. Temat. Digit. [online]. 2021, vol.23, n.3, pp.716-738. ISSN 1676-2592.  https://doi.org/10.20396/etd.v23i3.8657625.

The article aims to present the partial results of the study conducted from 2017 to 2018, with the following questions: how young people with blindness who live in the Paraense Amazon, northern region of the country, share knowledge about their Life Projects and how important it is assign to the school to carry out these projects? It deals with a research of procedural approach, the theoretical and methodological field of Social Representations. The instrument used was the interview with pre-established script in the form of themes about the life project. The subjects interviewed were 10 young blind students, equally distributed among young women and young men aged 15 to 29 years, linked to José Álvares de Azevedo Specialized Educational Technical Unit (UTES JAA). Bardin's Content Analysis (1997) was used to identify the consensus thinking of blind young people about their life projects. The partial results point to the following: that social representations reflect the images and meanings about the life project that transit between Education, Work; that the school, without reframing the rationality with which the teaching-learning process materializes, now represents an obstacle to both school inclusion and the achievement of its life projects.

Keywords : Youth; Diversity; Representations.
