This exploratory study was inspired by the author’s voluntary work with streetconnected children and youth in Kenya. It develops an understanding of the experiences of young people leaving the street in two provincial Kenyan towns. Although there has been extensive research concerned with street-connectedness, there has been a limited focus on young people’s transitions away from the street. Participants were identified with the help of three organisations: fifty-three young people, aged 12 -28, participated in semi-structured interviews, focus groups, and visual methods, during two field research visits to Kenya, in 2012 and 2013. The study found that their experiences of leaving the street were influenced by their day-to-day interactions with family, friends and other members of the communities into which they transitioned. These interactions influenced how accepted the young people felt and the extent to which they believed they were supported economically, physically and psychosocially, especially with regards to their relationships with family members. The participants’ interactions with school-based peers and teachers were particularly important in schools and training centres, where they struggled to develop a sense of belonging. Being street-connected is an integral part of the identities constructed by young people after they leave the street and establish places for themselves in their families, schools, local communities, and wider society. Such street-connectedness can be a strength: the resilience and skills developed on the street are useful attributes in adapting to new situations, potentially providing income-generating opportunities later on. However, the stigmatisation and resulting marginalisation they experienced on the street can have lasting effects. Barriers to inclusion experienced on the street influence a young person’s ability to develop a sense of belonging to their new situation after leaving the street. This study makes a conceptual contribution. Street-connectedness begins when a young person first arrives on the street, and continues until what could be years after they leave it. This street-connectedness can be characterised by three liminalities. The first is associated with living in the physical space defined as being on the street: a physical embodiment of liminality. The second, describes the process of being in transition as a young person newly arrived on the street, or having recently left the street: each being a liminal phase. The third liminality is described by an identity-forming social space, associated with being, and having been, street-connected: a liminal identity. This liminal identity, associated with being street-connected, impacts upon young people (re)entering home communities and, in particular, education, and highlights a need to consider and address the effects of these impacts.

This paper reviews the process of inclusion of disabled people in society, focusing on education and the market "said" inclusive. The process of research made on the basis of research literature and documentation; through works that deal with issues such as inclusion and exclusion, and the definitions and concepts, historical trajectory, finally, of how people with disabilities are included in society, said inclusive, considering the economic and social aspects of the problem, its dimensions and relationships. The text also discusses the dynamics of capitalist society and its relationship with the disabled, the issue of rights and its grounds, and talk on topics such as: labour, exploitation, rights, citizenship, inclusion and exclusion, trying show the limits of fight of the disabled in a society inclusive said. We realize that, in general, the centre of discussions is the reform of society and undoubtedly the main focus is the issue of equality through the inclusion. On that principle, we propose to analyse the sense of inclusion in society and the way it is treated by the segment in question. Moreover, show that the relationship inclusion / exclusion is more complex than the discussion that the segment disabled people raises. From there the discussion should not be restricted to PcD segment, but must achieve a society in general, since the process of inclusion of PcD with their relationship, whether through the struggle of the segment or the government initiatives that relate the theme - laws, decrees, campaigns, treaties, concerns all people and not only to those who have a disability. / Fundação de Amparo a Pesquisa do Estado de Alagoas / Neste texto analisamos o processo de inclusão das pessoas com deficiência na sociedade, enfocando a educação e o mercado dito inclusivos. O processo de investigação se deu com base em pesquisas bibliográfica e documental; através de obras que tratam de temas como inclusão e exclusão, bem como das definições e conceitos, trajetória histórica, enfim, de como as pessoas com deficiência são inseridas na sociedade, dita inclusiva, considerando os aspectos econômicos e sociais do problema, suas dimensões e relações. No texto também abordamos a dinâmica da sociedade capitalista e sua relação com as pessoas com deficiência, a questão dos direitos e sua fundamentação, além de discorrer sobre temas como: trabalho, exploração, direitos, cidadania, inclusão e exclusão, procurando mostrar os limites da luta das pessoas com deficiência numa sociedade dita inclusiva. Podemos perceber que, de um modo geral, o centro das discussões é a reforma da sociedade e, sem dúvida, o foco central é a questão da igualdade através da inclusão. Partindo desse princípio, propomos analisar o sentido da inclusão na sociedade e a forma como é tratada pelo segmento em questão. Além disso, mostrar que a relação inclusão/ exclusão é mais complexa que a discussão que o segmento pessoas com deficiência suscita. A partir daí a reflexão não deve ser restrita ao segmento PcD, mas deve alcançar a sociedade de um modo geral, visto que, o processo de inclusão das PcD, com suas relações, seja através da luta do segmento ou das iniciativas governamentais que se referem ao tema leis, decretos, campanhas, tratados, diz respeito a todas as pessoas e não só àquelas que tem alguma deficiência.
