Praxe as Spaces and Times for Interactions among Peers: Participation, voice and power issues
What led us to this research? 
Praxe has been part of medias agenda for the worth causes: Death and physical and psychological injuries 
10 young people died the last 9 months during praxe rituals 
 It increased its frequency through last years: 
From 1-2 weeks a year to the whole school year. 
 Has a economy lobby behind: Garments, beverages, festivals, badges
 Rituals are seen as a way to promote socialization and learning (Frias 2003; Ribeiro, 2001); 
Social representations are dynamic (Markov叩, 2005; Moscovici, 2000); 
Social interactions play an important role (Vygotsky, 1934/1962); 
Dialogical self assumes diferent I-positions (Hermans, 2001); 
 PRAXES  issues related to legitimate and peripherial participation (Lave & Wenger, 1991) 
 Life trajectories of participation, particularly in school context (C辿sar, 2013). 
Theoretical background
Interpretative approach (Denzin,2002) Exploratory intrinsic case study (Stake, 1995)

Praxe it's a power ritual between peers
Results 
I really enjoyed my praxe... However I remain conscious on the committed excesses, which make me and, so many others forget the good experiences. 4FESEIPP159 
It doesnt bothers me but I choose not to continue participating in the activities because they consume a lot of time. 2MUP230 
Praxe legitimates certain peoples authoritarian ways of acting, that outside the rituals doesnt look so bossy 3MISTUL174 
Praxe, for those who participate, is seen as integration but I think thats not true. I guess when they want be foolishly powerful, they dont really bother with the right or wrong of their acts. 1FUP213
Results 
In the end I made friends for life and took part in such a deep and significant union, which was totally unknown to me.1FUMINHO422 (F15-19) 
Praxes can be a very productive integrative activity. However, the existence of hierarchies and codes, takes all to a scary level. 
2FUCP069 (F20-24) 
Praxe is different from place to place. I guess in some cities can be really humiliating. 2FFCUP184 (F20-24) 
Praxe cannot be generalized either standardize. Its not the same anywherebut different everywhere. 3MICBAS152 (M25-29) 
Praxe depends on people. I have two different experiences. In one I was excluded, in the other treated as equal. 1FUP755 (F15-19)
Final Remarks 
Self and culture are conceived in terms of a multiplicity of positions among which dialogical relationships can develop. (Hermans, 2001, p. 243) 
The key to legitimate peripheral participation isaccess by newcomers to the community of practice and all that membership entails (Lave & Wenger, 1991, p.101) 
Empowering students and facilitating their engagement in school activities is a way of promoting their cognitive, social and emotional development (C辿sar, 2013, p. 188)
