Technology as a form of emancipation in an extension project for adolescents in conflict with the law

Abstract

This article describes the experience of developing the extension project aimed at adolescents in compliance with socio-educational measures in an open environment, namely Assisted Freedom (LA) and Provision of Community Services (PSC) in the municipality of Campos dos Goytacazes. Considering the institutional strategies frequently adopted for the re-socialization process, we suggest digital inclusion as an alternative to discourage prejudices and stigmatizations that permeate the trajectory of adolescents who come into conflict with the law. Through a propositional approach, the project actions were linked to the proposals of the municipal autarchy Foundation for Children and Youth, in order to reach the main target audience. In its first phase of development, our efforts were focused on understanding and operating with institutional logic, and, consequently, accessing the adolescents. With continuity planned until 2021, the project enters the stage of implementing the work plan directly with the target audience.
