DESCRIPTION:In the last decade a double distrust concerning youth has beco
 me apparent: a social disbelief in the contributions that young people in 
 the ‘lost generation’ might have to offer to society\; and young peopl
 e’s own disbelief in their constantly-postponed future. This mutual disb
 elief has become stronger since the economic downturn\, and urgently requi
 res attention.  In particular the lives of disenfranchised young people fr
 om border\, interior and rural regions needs further research.   This pres
 entation will present findings from an ethnographic study carried out in 2
 010 - 2011 (and continued online) in a village\, Bemposta\, located in the
  Portuguese inlands\, close to the Spanish border.  It will reveal whether
  or not these young people are cooling their expectations\, or if they are
  challenging their communities and geographies\, through proposing new you
 th cultures. What type of challenges are these young people making? Are th
 eir communities capable of answering these challenges? What do these commu
 nities expect from young people?
