Abstract
The study of youth participation is a challenge, because the collective practices of young people are contextualized within the framework of adult citizen participation, but submitting own elements and potentials of youth condition. This article attempts to assume the link between reproduction of social order and production of new orders in the social practices of youth, questioning theoretical approaches that pose a public disaffection of contemporary youth. So we will expose the limitations and dysfunctions of the current participatory model and propose elements that shape the necessary conditions for citizen involvement of young people, using three basic dimensions of participatory processes: inclusiveness, intensity and influence.
