Abstract

The main aspect of Brazil’s new National Common Curricular Base (BNCC in the Portuguese acronym) for basic education – especially for high school years – is the importance of the school approaching youth issues. By announcing such an objective, the document produces a certain discourse and lays the foundation of public policies on youth, such as the Brazilian High School Reform. As long as the notion of youth is mobilized, other terms also appear as central categories in the BNCC: life project and entrepreneurship. This article analyzes and problematizes these references in the BNCC, questioning which notions of youth and future are mobilized in this document and approaches the meanings of an educational action centered in one public policy and pedagogy of the life project, which seeks to prepare students for entrepreneurship. The research works fundamentally with discourse analysis of the Brazilian curriculum proposal. Its main conclusion is that the discourse on the notion of the future for young people constructed by the Brazilian High School Reform does not dialogue with the reality and future aspirations of young Brazilians.
