The rural youth have strained the development of public policies to consider the "countryside with people", bringing up discussions like the permanence of young people in the countryside, Agroecology, Solidarity Economy and Rural Education. The objective here is to discuss the actions developed during an undergraduate research project focused on the promotion of educational processes with rural youth. The methodology adopted was Action-Research and the target audience was young people from the rural community called Alto Isabel. The intervention consisted of: an exchange of experiences and workshops in rural educational territories; building a collective vegetable garden and conducting interviews. The young people showed a strong sense of belonging to the countryside, but a tendency to distance themselves from production on the land. Thus, it is important to carry out training actions that reflect the life project of rural youth, covering the different possibilities of working, professionalizing and living in the countryside.
