Abstract

The Covid-19 pandemic and its resulting serious sanitary, social, and economic crisis have affected young people in several different ways. Focused on the Brazilian reality, we aimed to gain an insight on how high school students from a small town in the interior of Sao Paulo (state) have been facing the current situation through the implementation of Workshops, Dynamics and Projects developed in a hybrid way, which showed that the most difficult part of implementing them lies on the sociability of these young people. School is understood, therefore, as a space of social support to these individuals and their demands, contributing to their attention and care.
