DUCATION AND SOCIAL REINTEGRATION OF YOUTH IN THE SOCIO-EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM AT THE UNIVERSITY: AN EXPERIENCE REPORT

Abstract

Abstract:This experience report describes and analyzes the visit made to the Superintendence of Socio-Educational Measures by students from the Administration and Nursing courses at the Federal University of Alagoas. The aim was to introduce young people to the various opportunities for entering university. The study is a descriptive experience report, the result of collaboration between the “National Socio-Educational Care Plan” of the Ministry of Human Rights and Citizenship and “University Access and Quotas” at Universidade Federal de Alagoas. The visit took place in July 2024 and included presentations on university, admission procedures, quota policies and the relevance of education for the quality of life of adolescents in conflict with the law. The experience allowed us to reflect on the young people's potential, as well as identifying the need for future visits to strengthen the link with higher education. The experience was enriching, highlighting the importance of education as a means of social inclusion and changing the life trajectory of vulnerable young people. The report emphasizes the importance of initiatives that encourage the development of skills and the social reintegration of these young people, showing that university extension actions are essential for establishing a connection between academia and society.
