DESCRIPTION:The investigation ‘Between streets and schools’ was conduc
 ted in Rio de Janeiro from April 2005 to October 2006 with young people (1
 2 to 17 years old) who lived on the streets\, shelters and ‘favelas’(s
 hantytowns).  It employed an ethnographic approach focusing on the\nproces
 s of educational inclusion of pupils who were re-engaging into mainstream 
 schools after being exposed to familiar conflicts\, school failure\, commu
 nity problems and ultimately\, life on the streets. Data was collected thr
 ough multiple methods\, such as: a) participant observation b) open interv
 iews\, c) semi-structured interviews\, d)photographs\, e) drawings\, f) vi
 deos\, g) audio recording and also h)documents. Visual methods were employ
 ed to elicit students’ voices and support the development of narratives.
  Students produced videos and photographs of their daily routines\, engagi
 ng and participating as partners in research. Data analysis has been condu
 cted accordingly to the grounded theory approach (Glaser & Strauss\, 1967)
 . Results illustrate the configuration of young people’s identity within
  a\ncontext of urban conflict and violence\, discussing the place of forma
 l education in the constitution of citizenship ideals and participation in
  civil society.
