The educational practices of the Paulo Freire State College in Francisco Beltrão - PR and the permanence of young people in rural areas

The article presents results of research carried out within the scope of the Master's in Education and aims to analyze the educational practices carried out at Colégio Estadual do Campo Paulo Freire, in Francisco Beltrão, to identify their importance in the relationship established with young people and their families, as well as the possibility and limits of the work developed by the school for the permanence of young people in the countryside. The research was qualitative, using questionnaires with open questions to students and educators, in addition to document analysis. The research results show educational practices based on interdisciplinary collective planning based on the continuing education of educators and the context in which the school is inserted, enabling the institution to approach the reality of young people and their families. However, most young people do not plan their life in the countryside due to the difficulties faced by them and their families. Among the difficulties, those related to youth sociability stand out, such as lack of leisure and poor quality of access to the internet signal.
