This article results and dismembered the master's research on "environmental conflict and climate change under the gaze of peasant youths Poconé, Mato Grosso," aimed at understanding perceptions of youths on environmental conflicts and existing climate change on our traditional community Lady of Lourdes (known as Zé Alves) and the Remnant Quilombo community Orangery, both located in the municipality of Poconé, MT. In this plot also articulate reflections to understand the dilemmas of "getting in and out" experienced by youths since the peasant youths of both communities are being made invisible by agribusiness advances that transform natural goods resources, to meet the economic perspective, making it impossible to remain in the territories. The investigative proposition relied on the qualitative method, with the methodological tactics the Social Map. For information were conducted seven field work, two mapping seminars, twelve semi-structured interviews with the youths, besides secondary sources (reports, articles and census) of the surveyed communities. We understand that the rural-urban migration are mainly related to lack of education and job opportunities and income, as well as non-execution of public policies thought to this reality.

Key Stakeholders

This study examines how key stakeholders in agriculture in a number of municipalities in the Brazilian Amazon state of Mato Grosso are incorporating and adapting to public policies on climate change. Fieldwork and semi-structured interviews conducted in 2014 and 2018 with key stakeholders in the region were analyzed to assess the effectiveness of public policies incorporating climate change factors. Data obtained from documents from national institutions complemented these interviews. The results show that although local government claims that its mission is economic, social and sustainable development, and although public institutions and stakeholders repeat internationally recognized protocols and agreements in their communications, in actual fact, these are not reflected by any change in institutional behavior.

Este trabalho teve por objeto a cerâmica Terena produzida na Aldeia Cachoeirinha em Miranda, Mato Grosso do Sul. Seu objetivo geral é analisar o processo de produção posto em prática pela etnia em referência. Sobre a relevância do objeto dizem os fatos de o artesanato Terena ter sido registrado como patrimônio imaterial histórico, artístico e cultural de Mato Grosso do Sul pelo Governo do Estado e a cerâmica, em especial, se constituir em expressivo instrumento de reconhecimento e diferenciação da etnia. Fontes teóricas foram buscadas em estudos de Oliveira, Ribeiro e Alves. A revisão bibliográfica e o levantamento de fontes secundárias priorizaram as abordagens sobre os Terena, mas se estenderam a outras etnias indígenas da região, também, por força da necessidade de análises comparativas. Quanto às fontes primárias, foram realizados levantamentos a campo na Reserva Indígena Cachoeirinha, além de observações sistemáticas, registros fotográficos do processo de produção e entrevistas semiestruturadas com as artesãs oleiras. Entre os resultados, foram constatadas mudanças recentes na cerâmica Terena. Distanciando-se da pigmentação avermelhada, característica da etnia, algumas peças passaram a ganhar a coloração preta, oriunda de um mineral de cor escura e brilhosa, chamado ‘pedra canga’. A partir do levantamento feito a campo foram identificadas 83 artesãs Terena. Atualmente, 45 permanecem em atividade e a maioria encontra-se na faixa etária de 26 a 50 anos. A produção da cerâmica é realizada exclusivamente pelas mulheres e se tornou importante fonte de complementação da renda familiar. Palavras-chave: Desenvolvimento Regional. Artesanato Indígena.

The present theoretical sources were based on studies of Oliveira, Ribeiro and Alves. The literature review and the secondary sources survey focused on the Terena, however the study extended to other ethnic groups of the region for comparative analysis. During the primary sources, field surveys were carried out at Cachoeirinha Indigenous Protected Area. In addition, systematic observations, photographic records of the production and semi-structured interviews with pottery artisans were performed. Among the results, recent changes in Terena ceramics were observed. Some pieces began to change from the traditional reddish pigmentation, characteristic feature of this ethnic group, to black coloration, originated from a mineral called “canga” stone of dark and bright color. Based on the field survey, 83 Terena artisans were identified. Currently, 45 artisans remain in activity and they fall into age group of 26 to 50 years. The ceramics production is carried out exclusively by women and has become an important supplemental source for family income. Keywords: Regional Development. Indigenous Crafts.

This study aimed to identify the (in)visibility of nursing care and discuss ways of (dis)articulating this care with family care in the social network of children with special healthcare needs. A qualitative research was performed with health professionals at a pediatric hospital, four units of the Family Medical Program (FMP), and children’s relatives living in Niterói (RJ). The field work was put in practice after IRB approval (HESFA/EEAN), consisting of five semi-structured interviews and two group dynamics. Critical Discourse Analysis indicated that nursing care is visible in the child’s social network through the nurse’s educational and care activities and home visits by the nurisng aide of the FMP. Due to errors in the national health system’s referral and counter-referral, mothers articulate the network and not the health service; thus, the reorganization of the system in the State would foster social networks that are less wearing for their families.

Abstract The current young generation are living through socio-historically situated intersecting crises, including precarity and climate change. In these times of crisis, young people are also bearing witness to a distinctive global wave of youth-led activism involving protest actions. Much of this activism can be deemed dissent because many young activists are calling for systemic change, including the radical disruption, reimagining and rebuilding of the social, economic and political status quo. In this interdisciplinary article, between politics and peace studies, we investigate how the concept of peace plays an important role in some young dissent, and specifically the dissent of young people taking action on climate change. We observed that these young environmental activists often describe their actions in careful terms of positive peace, non-violence, kindness and care, in order to express their dissent as what we interpret as positive civic behaviour. They also use concepts grounded in peace and justice to navigate their economic, political and social precarity. Based on a youth-centred study, drawing on insightful face to face semi-structured interviews in Britain and France with school climate strikers, Friday For Future (FFF) and Extinction Rebellion (XR) activists, we explore how young environmental activists themselves related their dissent, and especially how they attached importance to it being non-violent and/or peaceful. Stemming from our findings, we discuss how young environmental activists’ vision of violence and non-violence adapted to the structural and personal violence they face at the complex intersections of young marginalization, global inequalities and injustices in the lived impact of climate change and the policing of protest.

The authors explore the discourses around the exclusion of the Roma in Serbia in two dimensions: social welfare sector and media reports. The paper is structured around the presentation of dimensions contributing to multiple deprivation of Roma in society (from education to labor market participation, social welfare and health care, as well as housing); a review of public policies directed toward the improvement of their position; and analysis of the discourses on Roma within the contexts of the social welfare sector and media reporting. A review of related literature and public policy documents was followed by a qualitative analysis of media reports as well as a review of the secondary sources regarding media discourses on the Roma. This was followed by evidence gathered from semi-structured interviews and discussions with stakeholders in the social welfare sector. The main conclusions of the paper point to the mutual reinforcement of the discourses on the Roma in the social welfare sector and media reports, with their subsequent mutual contribution to social exclusion.

Abstract Since the emergence of the environmental agenda in the global arena, Brazil has maintained an active position in the debates around this topic. Although Brazil has always been a protagonist, its foreign policy has shown some changes in relation to addressing climate change in recent years. Likewise, the modalities under which this issue has been framed as a problem since 1992 are fundamentally important to interpreting the Brazilian position in international negotiations and the changes in them over the years. The objective of the following article is to understand the discursive framework on which the foreign policy of climate change in Brazil was structured from a constructivist standpoint on International Relations. Using this approach, this article studies both the international influences and the internal conditions of Brazilian climate policy in the negotiations of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). The main sources of this research are semi-structured interviews with state and non-state actors in Brazil, complemented with a review of secondary sources such as official documents and academic papers.

Inter-organizational networks are groups of legally independent organizations working together to achieve both their individual goals to the collective goals of the group. The focus of this research is the influence of social aspects on the competitiveness of inter-organizational networks, and the aim is to identify the contribution of the social aspects (strategy group, trust, commitment and cooperation) to the competitiveness of the network. It is about a qualitative, exploratory and descriptive study, through the case study of a single network of Brazilian poultry exporters of Halal. Primary data were collected through semi-structured interviews, in addition, the information obtained from these interviews were checked with information from other secondary sources such as reports and institutional materials. The results indicated that these social aspects are complementary and collaborate for a more competitive network. The contribution of this research indicates the existence of complementarities of the categories, wherein a positively reinforces the presence of another network.

Social Debate

Social media are prominent channels to foster the social debate about climate change. This research explores the strategies that institutions supporting scientific consensus on climate change undertake in order to communicate through social media. We conducted 21 semi-structured interviews with community managers and communication directors of organizations of different characteristics in several countries. From the responses we have identified strategies that are based on communicators’ perceptions and experience. We identified strategies that: (a) orientate the communication objectives, (b) help to approach citizens in an effective way, and (c) create interaction with the users. This provides a repertoire of well-grounded strategies that can work as a guide that may help organizations to design their actions to communicate climate change through social media. We conclude that including higher levels of interaction in social media strategies remains a challenge that could lead to a more effective social debate on climate change.

This study investigates the preachers and their Friday sermons in Lebanon, raising the following questions: What are the profiles of preachers in Lebanon and their academic qualifications? What are the topics evoked in their sermons? In instances where they diagnosis and analyze the political and the social, what kind of arguments are used to persuade their audiences? What kind of contact do they have with the social sciences? It draws on forty-two semi-structured interviews with preachers and content analysis of 210 preachers’ Friday sermons, all conducted between 2012 and 2015 among Sunni and Shia mosques. Drawing from Max Weber’s typology, the analysis of Friday sermons shows that most of the preachers represent both the saint and the traditional, but rarely the scholar. While they are dealing extensively with political and social phenomena, rarely do they have knowledge of social science

Social Constructivist Learning

In recent years, providing higher education in the form of work-based learning has become more important in the higher education (HE) policy and practice almost in all EU countries. Work-based learning (WBL) in HE should support the development of competences of self-guided learners and adjust the university education better to the needs of the workplace. The study is based on two pilot projects of WBL in HE in Estonia: Tourism and Restaurant Management professional HE programme and the master’s programme in Business Information Technology. The model of integrative pedagogy, based on the social-constructivist learning theory, is taken as a theoretical foundation for the study. A qualitative study based on semi-structured interviews with the target groups. The data analysis used a horizontal analysis to find cross-cutting themes and identify patterns of actions and connections. It appears, that the challenge for HE is to create better cooperation among stakeholders; the challenge for workplaces is connected with better involvement of students; the challenge for students is to take more initiative and responsibility in communication with workplaces.
