"Juventude e escola" is a guide that focuses on the Papo Reto project, which was launched in a public school in Belo Horizonte. In this book, the authors, Marcos Martins, Juliana Oliveira, and Luana Carola, share their experiences and observations from everyday school life. They highlight the need to rethink and reshape the school environment to meet the needs of students. The Papo Reto project provides a framework for weekly discussion groups where students choose topics of interest, such as prejudice, sexuality, and frustration. These conversations not only promote the exchange of ideas but also contribute to creating an inclusive and supportive school environment. The book offers valuable insights into the dynamics of student interactions and the importance of dialogue in education.
