Quando se entra em um bairro da periferia, o que se espera encontrar sobre o lazer dos jovens que aí habitam? Como transpõem as escalas na cidade, sobretudo a partir da periferia? Afinal, o que há de comum entre estes jovens ou suas redes juvenis quando se estudam suas formas de lazer? Mais ainda, que tipos de questões podem surgir quando suas práticas são percepcionadas no âmbito das espacialidades que compõem o uso que fazem no tempo livre para a diversão? As experiências de campo em cidades médias ajudaram a encontrar ou, mais precisamente, elaborar algumas respostas a estas questões. O que trago aqui é uma parte destas experiências a partir de um trabalho etnogeográfico com os jovens do low na cidade de Marília/SP, que revelam o modo como o capital espacial é construído por essas microculturas e como esse capital é usado para produzir suas escalas numa articulação intra e interurbana em torno da diversão e de suas performances.Palavras-chave: Etnogeografia.

How do they transpose the scales in the city, especially from the outskirts? After all, what’s common between these young people and their youth networks when one studies their forms of leisure? Furthermore, what types of questions may arise when their practices are perceived within the spatiality that makes up their use of the free time for leisure? The field experiences in medium-sized cities have helped to find or, in more accurate words, prepare some answers to these questions. What I bring here is part of these experiences, from an ethnogeography work with youth’s low in the city of Marilia (SP), which reveal how they build their ranges and their spatial capital.Keywords: Ethnogeography.

“RAP IS A THING THAT CONNECTS, IS IT LINKED?!”: RESSIGNIFICATING CONTEXTS OF YOUNG PEOPLE IN COMPLIANCE WITH SOCIO-EDUCATIONAL MEASURERESUMO: O presente trabalho tem como propósito uma reflexão sobre o rap como possibilidade educativa, que contribui na ressignificação do contexto de jovens e adolescentes em cumprimento de medida socioeducativa na cidade de Cascavel – PR. Objetiva-se uma discussão acerca do rap como alternativa pedagógica em espaços de institucionalização, tratando de questões referentes à noção de juventude e culturas juvenis e também a relação entre juventude e violência. Na tentativa de compreender como o rap pode ser utilizado como instrumento educativo, realizou-se uma pesquisa de campo no Centro de Referência Especializado de Assistência Social – CREAS II na cidade de Cascavel - PR, tendo como ponto principal a observação da Oficina de Rimas. Ademais, foram realizadas entrevistas com o oficineiro e com a pedagoga do centro. Na busca de verificar de que forma o rap tem contribuído para ressignificar contextos, utilizamos como referência as letras de rap compostas pelos adolescentes. Concluímos destacando que o gênero musical em questão é de grande influência no que se refere à formação de identidades e um importante elemento de constituição do imaginário sobre a vida do jovem na periferia. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: ABSTRACT: This paper aims to reflect on the rap as an educational possibility, which contributes to reframe the context of youth and adolescents in compliance with socio-educational measures in the city of Cascavel – PR. The objective is to discuss about rap as a pedagogical alternative in spaces of institutionalization, addressing issues related to the notion of youth and Youth Cultures and also the relationship between youth and violence. In an attempt to understand how rap can be used as an educational tool, a field research in Specialized Reference Center for Social Assistance- CREAS II was held in the city of Cascavel– PR, having as the main point the observation of Rhymes Workshop. Moreover, we also conducted interviews with the work shopper and the pedagogue of the center. In seeking to verify how rap has contributed to reframe contexts, we use as reference the rap lyrics composed by the teenagers. We concluded by pointing out that the musical genre in question is of great influence in relation to the formation of identities and an important imaginary constitution element about the life of the youth in the periphery. KEYWORDS: Youth - Youth Culture – Identity – Rap - Education.

In modern society, there is an increasing need to organize and fill the free time of children and young people. Observing and comparing the previous research on the free time of children and young people, it is evident that physical activity determined through sports is insufficiently practiced in the free time of children and young people. Youth sports games in the City of Zadar and Zadar County have been organized and held for many years, so they have proven to be promoters of a healthy lifestyle for children and youth. For the purposes of research and examination of respondents' satisfaction with the role and status of youth sports games in the City of Zadar and Zadar County, a survey method was used, where the sample consists of 467 participants in youth sports games, aged 12 to 18 for 2019 from the City Zadar and Zadar County. The aim of the research was to determine the degree of significance of youth sports competitions for participants and to directly determine the degree of socialization of that population caused by participation in competitions. According to the results of the research, it was determined that youth sports competitions are important for the participants, whose socialization in society has improved in accordance with the mentioned activity.

This research aims to clarify the importance of time, highlight the reasons that lead to the youth’s leisure, the activities practiced by the youth sample members in their spare time, the negative effects of the leisure on youth, and the solutions or treatments that address the negative effects of the leisure. To achieve the goals, and answer the questions, the descriptive approach was used by interviewing a specific segment of young people residing in the city of Sana'a as a sample for research. The sample size was 168 (researched) young people. Through the results collected from the field research area, their analysis and interpretation, a number of general results were reached, the most important of which are: The leisure hours vary among the sample members from two to five hours per day, and this is confirmed by the data of Table No. (4) and 75% of the respondents A total of 151 individuals from the sample. The results also showed that most of the sample members watch satellite TV channels to occupy their spare time, and this is confirmed by the data of Table No. (9), with 61% of the total research sample. As well as from the results that one of the negative effects of emptiness on young people is an increase in spending on the branches of the chat tree, in order to occupy the free time in eating and chewing the branches of the chat tree in the mouth for several hours, and this is confirmed by the data of Table No. (18), and by 81% of the total members of the research sample.

Young people are important to cities, bringing skills and energy and contributing to economic activity. New technologies have led to the idea of a smart city as a framework for city management. Smart cities are developed from the top-down through government programmes, but also from the bottom-up by residents as technologies facilitate participation in developing new forms of city services. Young people are uniquely positioned to contribute to bottom-up smart city projects. Few diagnostic tools exist to guide city authorities on how to prioritise city service provision. A starting point is to understand how the youth value city services. This study surveys young people in Braamfontein, Johannesburg, and conducts an importance-performance analysis to identify which city services are well regarded and where the city should focus efforts and resources. The results show that Smart city initiatives that would most increase the satisfaction of youths in Braamfontein  include wireless connectivity, tools to track public transport  and  information  on city events. These  results  identify  city services that are valued by young people, highlighting services that young people could participate in providing. The importance-performance analysis can assist the city to direct effort and scarce resources effectively.

Ultimate Purpose

This article examines the socio-economic implications that the controversial sub-culture of skhothane has on the development or underdevelopment of youth at Ekurhuleni and surrounding townships. It interrogates skhothane within the post-modern expressive youth culture. In the township(s) of Ekurhuleni, skhothane is regarded not only as a controversial sub-culture but also as a lifestyle whereby young people compete in acquiring material goods with the ultimate purpose of destroying them. This practice co-exists alongside youth unemployment and underdevelopment which is exacerbated by poverty, rising unemployment and gross inequalities. The author argues that the practice of skhothane sub-culture does not only undermine the policies and programmes aimed at the socio-economic upliftment of young people, but turns the youth into materialistic consumers. In this article, young people are viewed as victims of post-modern lifestyles who are socialised under an intergenerational culture of poverty and underdevelopment. It uses primary data from selected interviews with skhothane members and general members of local communities and secondary sources from books, accredited journals and newspapers.

El presente estudio busca comprender bajo un enfoque naturalista cómo en un periodo denominado por autores de las Ciencias Sociales ( Bajoit, 2009; Sandoval, 2010) de “cambio cultural”, emerge el movimiento Hip Hop y su particular forma de expresión en la ciudad de Punta Arenas. La investigación tiene un objetivo central y busca interpretar la relación entre la expresión contracultural y los jóvenes que son parte de tal, como así también sus significados respecto al ser actores del mismo. La investigación pretende identificar, entonces, la lógica de acción actual de los jóvenes y a su vez dilucidar si existe relación o no con la raíz histórica del movimiento Hip Hop, es decir una expresión de disidencia en razón de la estructura social establecida y las contradicciones que afloran de la misma. The following study aims to understand under the naturalist approach how in a period called for authors of the social sciences (Bajoit, 2009; Sandoval, 2010) of “cultural change”, emerges the Hip Hop movement and its particular form of expression in the city of Punta Arenas. The research has a main objective and seeks to interpret the relation between the expression counterculture and the young people that are part of it, likewise the meaning concerning to be actors of it. The research pretends to identify the logic of current action of the youngsters and at the same time elucidate if there is a relation or not with the historical root of the movement “Hip Hop”, i.e. an expression of dissent aiming with the social structure established and the contradictions that came out from itself.

In 1987, the city of Bridgeport initiated a city-wide planning process which underscored the needs of the city's youth and provided an honest appraisal of the community's capacity to manage future challenges. Through the support of The Annie E. Casey Foundation, Bridgeport Futures Initiative was established to unite education, business and industry, community organizations and citizens to develop a comprehensive approach for solving the complex problems facing youth in need and at risk. The years since inception have provided rich and compelling evidence that the participation of hundreds of people and many institutions can impact on the lives of young people. This article describes the development of this unique collaboration and gives examples of successes thus achieved. The Bridgeport Futures Initiative was commended in the 1990 Anderson Medal awards of the Business–Higher Education Forum of the American Council on Education (see Industry and Higher Education, June 1991, p 79).

Primary Mission

Founded in 1993 by four women in Berlin, Germany, the Berliner Tafel is Germany’s oldest food rescue organization. The Tafel concept was quickly replicated and eventually developed into a nationwide network. Today, the Berliner Tafel has approximately 1,800 volunteers who tirelessly work to collect surplus food and deliver it to those in need throughout the city. The organization supplies over 300 social initiatives ranging from homeless shelters to soup kitchens and operates 45 food distribution points, Laib und Seele, in partnership with churches and the regional radio and television network. The Berliner Tafel supports more than 125,000 people in need every month with quality food that would otherwise have been unnecessarily thrown away. After the organization’s primary mission of rescuing food had adequately matured, the decision was taken to branch out and impact the lives of the children and youth of Berlin by establishing the KIMBA programme, which aims to teach young people from all backgrounds the value of food, good nutrition and the importance of sharing a meal together. Through all these activities the Berliner Tafel bolsters the fabric of German society by supporting vulnerable citizens while simultaneously having a positive impact on the environment and encouraging solidarity within and among Berlin’s diverse communities.

This article explores themes of chance and contingency in relation to field research I carried out in a network of outdoor newspaper libraries in Pune, India. Appearing amid the city’s transformation into a major regional hub linking western Maharashtra into the global economy, the vernacular institution of the footpath library emerges as a lens for bringing a range of issues related to social change in urban India into clearer focus. I show that the street library is not just a quiet place to sit and read but a site of social visibility and cultural assertion for Marathi-speaking migrants in the city.
