Abstract

In recent decades one of the most visible facets in the youth issue has been the formulation and development by public agencies and organized civil society of various social programs and services targeting low-income youth in the fields of health work culture and leisure. However the educational practices and effects of these actions are largely unknown. With the objective of providing support for the implementation and evaluation of social programs for low-income youth the Ford Foundation supported research in Rio de Janeiro Brazil and Bogota and Cali Colombia concerning the repercussions that such social interventions have on young peoples lives and the theoretical and methodological basis for these educational actions. Despite their specificities the common thread in the studies is the use of qualitative methodologies in the analysis of the social groups cultural manifestations and material living conditions in the two countries.
