It was realized by a qualitative research, with phenomenological boarding to the collect and analysis of the informations. The testimonials of the teenagers allowed me to construct three big categories, which uncovered the essence of this participation in the operative group: "Learning and Teaching to be-an-adolescent-with-he-others", "A right way, coursing to the adult age" and "Recognizing risks to the health in adolescence". To comprehend how the teenagers notice the operative group, gave me the possibility to approximate myself to the youngsters, to know them, discovering them as a being-in-the-world-with-the-others, uncovering to me their necessities and valuing their customs.
