Abstract

This dissertation of the case study of the Caminho Melhor Jovem , a public policy for young residents in favela of Rio de Janeiro, to research and reflect on youth, non-formal education and public policy. The study investigated the "theory" in parallel to "practice" of the program, that is, the way it was designed and how it actually takes place. The research methodology was given the context of questioning in which it is inserted (through discussions brought the bibliography, plenary committees of the legislative chamber of the State of Rio de Janeiro and data disclosed in news reports); the analysis of official documents Program (Operating Regulation - ROP, website and social networks); and interviews and daily field visits to the project (2014, 2015 and 2016). They considered four program key features (intersectoral, integrated care, territoriality, emancipation and autonomy) versus three major problems encountered (discontinuity, lack of infrastructure and difficulties in achieving partnership) who claim the ineffective implementation of the Caminho Melhor Jovem.
