Abstract

The present research proposal intends to focus on the path of life, schooling, and future plans of high school youth who developed an initiation to science, within a specific multicenter research project. In this context, from the use of three different resources to compose the empirical field, namely: application of questionnaires, conducting collective conversations, and in-depth interviews, it is intended to understand the impact that the experience had within a research project broad, from the perspective of the young people themselves, in their individual and collective trajectories, schooling and their plans for the future. Thus, it is intended to systematize and offer subsidies so that experiences that take young people as active subjects and collaborators in the production of knowledge become more common in daily school life in partnership with public universities, enabling other constructions of meaning in high school for young people, as well as universities, so that, in addition to transforming life narratives of university students, they can do it for high school students.(AU)
