In the 1980s in the middle of the Brazilian Oriental Amazonia, the big Carajás program has been installed. Located between the states of Maranhão and Paraá was raised to guarantee the infrastructural conditions of mineral exploration of Cerro de Carajás, located in the state of Parar. Extinct decades later, his dynamics continued to operate until the current days. The insertion of this region in the capitalist dynamics caused a series of violations and violence to the people who live there: originating, quilombolas, riverside, urban, among others. In 2014, the GEDMMA Studies Group and the Organization of Human Rights Justiça Trilhos began a process of political formation with young people from the communities affected by these dynamics. In this talk I try to share the experience of intertwining struggles that nasció of the process with the young women. Beyond the place of political formation, from my own experience in this process, I try to reflect on the changes arising from the meeting of knowledge, subjectivities, looks among young people from different social groups that are in the communities and in the academy.
