Percursos de educandos da EJA: memórias, realidades e sonhos em uma perspectiva humanizadora.

The discussions in this article were based on the reports of a group, including students and a teacher, from the 4th period, from the 1st segment, of the Youth and Adult Education (YAE) teaching modality, in the municipality of Araguaína-TO, about the reasons for having given up on studies based on a demonstration of dehumanization and deterritorialization of spaces, bodies and minds. As a result of injustices, vulnerability is confused with personal demerits, because immersed in myths, the interlocutors think that they are responsible for the incidents and recurring bad weather in their lives. Without conditions to exercise citizenship, because they are expropriated of human dignity, resulting from constant and permanent vulnerability, the perspective of the future is overshadowed and without conditions of self-help and altruism, because culturally dependent, the participatory process in the community becomes truncated, bringing harm for individuals and the collectivity. However, they find in the YAE, a space for learning and coexistence, perspectives for overcoming and transforming realities, for building relationships of trust in themselves and in the other and therefore collaborative, enabling greater participation and a sense of belonging in the community. This article adopted participatory research as a method and the culture circle as a technique, which allowed the participants' speech to be problematized, contributing to the construction of the humanization of the subjects.
