As an ongoing research this study aims to explore the relationship between youth education and adult and rural education, as fields of knowledge under construction, and struggles which are part of the lives of youth and adult workers, who have been denied their right to education. This case study analyses the Espírito Santo State experience of the Projovem Campo Saberes da Terra Program, through the study of official documents, data from field observations, and onsite focus group interviews with students and educators participating in 14 class groups from the Program. As its theoretical framework, it uses historical resources, law and studies which problematize the paths, concepts and advances in rural and youth and adult education in order to build public policies. As a result of the study the challenges for putting into practice a policy for rural education, aimed at young and adult rural workers, are indicated.
