Περιγραφή:This paper displays some findings of an ongoing qualitative study conducted in Mexico since 2011 in order to approach the process of establishing the identity of young adults who voluntarily, became members of a new collective action generation (Melucci, 2002). These youngsters created organizations for the development of communitarian educational interventions as a means to rebuild everyday contexts of trust and meaning, Lechner (1998) for outcast youngsters through collective participation and organization empowerment. The methodological strategy used included life stories, focus groups, and participant observation in order to explore the meaningful life´s components of youth organization founders of “Acciones para el Desarrollo Comunitario, A.C.,” a non-governmental organization. Since this is a continuation of a previous research Fernández (2010), which explored identity processes of social actors of the 80s in Mexico, we examine in this new research the possibility that this new generation of social actors present similar features to those of their predecessors.  The main findings here are linked to the role of family’s initial support, the formative, formal and not formal experiences, and the intergenerational transmission in the involvement of these young adults in collective participation and organization strengthening.
