Youths from the northeastern Brazilian countryside have multiple identities and desires.It is not enough to refer to them based on their territorial belonging, or only by gender or racial ethnicity.Deconstructions of these imaginary, which also compartmentalize social struggles, and reinforce stereotypes, are everyday movements made from the most diverse mechanisms.From the experience presented here, considering the scenario of the Covid-19 pandemic, the guiding thread for this reflection is the dimension of the participation of adolescents and young people, boys, girls, blacks, people from the countryside and who today live in the headquarters of their municipalities , students, in processes that can influence the change of life in their communities, municipalities and territories, presenting through their voices the concerns that have been affecting them directly and also in a broader dimension.It is from the affirmation of multiple identities, from the expression of their analytical capacities and from proposals to face the difficulties experienced, from intergenerational dialogue, that these adolescents and young people surpass the condition of vulnerability to which they are historically inserted, and show their potential, despite these vulnerabilities, contributing to the deconstruction of stigmas limiting their development, and presenting awareness and claims of their rights and their environments of belonging, in a clear demonstration of empathy, solidarity and citizen awareness.
