EDUCATION AND THE CITY
PUBLICATIONS DIRECTED TO YOUTH
Keywords:
education, cities, youthAbstract
This bibliographic research aimed to analyze scientific publications with the theme
education and the city, focusing on educational opportunities provided to young people in the city.
Through a search in a EBSCO Discovery Service, using the descriptors “city”, “education”, and
“youth”, 112 articles were selected and analyzed in nine categories: 1) Knowledge Area; 2) Target
Audience; 3) Geographic Area; 4) Type of Research; 5) Methodological tools; 6) Theoretical basis; 7)
Activity Developed; 8) Main Results; and 9) Discussion about the city. The results reveal several uses of
the territory in education - ranging between urban and rural, central and outskirt areas – highlighting
possibilities of educating youth through urban, local, and non-institutionalized practices. School still
seems central for educational meetings and youth creations, requiring activities closer to its territory.
We found significant territorialized educational experiences based on Paulo Freire’s Popular Education,
valuing local knowledge, social practice, and relating culture and non-formal education. We conclude by
affirming that cities are powerful interdisciplinary arenas for territorially structured educational
practices, articulated with local experiences and characteristics.
