O acolhimento institucional é concebido como uma medida com vista à
promoção e proteção de crianças e jovens em risco. Esta resposta concretiza-se
na capacidade de resposta dos Lares de Infância e Juventude e da
especialização dos profissionais, tendo em conta as diferentes necessidades e
caraterísticas dos educandos. A necessidade de compreender os jovens
institucionalizados, como sujeitos participativos e com voz nas decisões que
afectam as suas vidas, assume um especial significado para estes sujeitos se
considerarmos que o impacte da institucionalização nas suas vidas influencia o
seu desenvolvimento e a relação com os diferentes contextos nos quais se
inserem.
O presente Relatório reflete o desenvolvimento de um Projeto de
investigação posicionado metodologicamente na Investigação-Acção
Participativa, intitulado “Crescer com os desafios”, desenvolvido com jovens e
educadores do LIJ. Este projeto teve como grande finalidade “Potenciar o
“empowerment” dos jovens do LIJ no contexto institucional e escolar,
favorecendo uma aprendizagem centrada nas suas necessidades e valorização
do seu próprio processo educativo, através de uma intervenção psicossocial”.
A finalidade deste Projeto e todos os objetivos propostos foram ao encontro
dos problemas e necessidades priorizados pelos participantes, propondo-se, a
partir de um conjunto de ações e atividades, alcançar a mudança. Os
resultados deste Projeto revelam-se significativos, uma vez que promoveram
um processo de reflexão e de partilha acerca dos desafios do acolhimento
institucional, apontando para a necessidade de traçar linhas de intervenção
adequadas às necessidades e ao percurso escolar de cada jovem.

This response materialized in the responsiveness of Homes for Children and Youth and the experience of professionals, takes into account the different needs and characteristics of students. The need to understand the institutionalized youth as participative subjects with voice in decisions that affect their lives, takes a special meaning for these subjects if we consider that the impact of institutionalization in their lives influence their development and the relationship with the different contexts in which it operates.
