Abstract

This article analyzes reports of experiences of young people affiliated to political parties in Brazil. The corpus consists of written testimonies from 375 young people affiliated with 35 political parties. The reports deal with the experiences of these young people, a way of directly accessing their views and their place of speech as a subject within the scope of party youths.
The methodology consisted of applying an open questionnaire, with space for the informants to report their experiences. The conclusions show that the young supporters mainly highlight the following aspects: political learning, coexistence and the “broderhood spirit”. Other discursive representations are sometimes associated with idealism and sometimes with political pragmatism. Some reports also highlight the suffering caused by the exchange of some parties. The discussion of the data, in dialogue with the literature, contributes
to the understanding of the motivations that lead young people to join the parties, also allowing the analysis of their own experiences.
