Abstract

This article comes from the Author's final work (2017), which aimed to investigate the School Occupation movement in 2016, with emphasis on the Federal Institute of Paraíba (IFPB) campus Cabedelo. The methodological path refers to the initial access to the research carried out during the occupation of the campus through the Extension Project entitled University and Youth: citizen walkway. Such research was carried out by students XX and XX, linked to the group mentioned above, under the responsibility of teacher XX. The second moment was the realization of a focus group with the students who were part of the occupation, in order to understand how the school-student relationship occurs after the occupation movement. With the mobilization of some theorists such as Castells (2013), Gohn (2011), Poerner (2004) Foracchi (1972), Ianni (1963), Sposito (2000), Pais (1993), one can understand the trajectory of social movements of youth and its dynamics in contemporary times. In this sense, with the results, it becomes noticeable a greater amount of participation by younger students, concentrated in the first year, and, from the reports, a change in the relationship with the school is demonstrated through a greater appropriation of the school space. students participating in this research.
