The New High School institutes the Life Project as a mandatory part of the school curriculum, through workshops or classes where educators and young people debate about professional, social, physical and emotional issues based on reflection on decision-making and problem solving. Working Life Project demands taking into account the notions of possibilities for each individual, who is unique and permeated by the place they occupy in society, and which must be analyzed by the professor in their practice. From the referential expansion of the concepts of adolescence, youth and the production of subjectivity, the intervention research is presented through the practices of Vocational Analysis, carried out in the extension project “Building a process of choices even when 'choosing' is not a available verb”, as an ethical and political way of working the Life Project, necessarily considering the plurality of intersectional possibilities and strengths of youth, encompassing race, class, gender, sexuality, territories. It is concluded that, from the reports brought, all life is made up of multiple factors that need to be listened to by the contemporary school - and not trying to adapt different ways of being young to unreal or intangible life projects for certain classes and ways of being.
