Abstract

The following work describes the Social Representations from the involved actors in a vocational educational experience. The vocational educational experience aims to motivate the continuation of the education of young adults in a rural location in Uruguay. Through the Social Representations build by the social actors it is sought to know if the re-attachment process for the young adults to the educative system was effective. We used a case study; by using a semi structured interviews we gather the information and studied with Content Analysis. The results show that the young adults feel they are part of the process; they respond with interest and obtain satisfactory performance on their respective educational levels. Behind the success of this educational experience there is a diversification of the curriculum; didactic work from a strong group of teachers and the presence of social networks.
