Abstract(s)
Objectivo: avaliar a integração e sentimento de comunidade dos jovens caboverdianos
na sociedade de acolhimento, procurando determinar a influência da
participação cultural e comunitária, o conhecimento e acesso a sistemas e serviços, a
participação política ou cívica, as expectativas sobre imigrantes e portugueses na sua
comunidade e a satisfação com a vida.
Método: Estudo observacional descritivo. Participaram 100 jovens caboverdianos
estudantes universitários dos núcleos de estudantes africanos da UECL,
FCSH-UNL, ISA-UTL, FCT-UNL e ULHT. Foram utilizados o Instrumento de
Avaliação de Integração na Comunidade que enquadra a SCI2, na secção A e a SWLS,
na Secção E.
Resultados: Verificou-se que estes jovens apresentam valores medianos de
sentimento de comunidade no contexto em que têm maior contacto com cidadãos
portugueses e não revelam dificuldades no acesso e conhecimento a sistemas e serviços,
participam com pouca frequência em eventos realizados na comunidade onde residem
actualmente, existe uma relação entre as expectativas sobre os imigrantes e portugueses
na sua comunidade e o nível médio de satisfação com a vida é ligeiro.
Discussão: A participação cultural e comunitária, o conhecimento e acesso a
sistemas e serviços, a participação política ou cívica, as expectativas sobre imigrantes e
portugueses na sua comunidade e a satisfação com a vida podem ter um papel
fundamental no sentimento de comunidade dos jovens cabo-verdianos na sociedade de
acolhimento, influenciando, assim, a qualidade das práticas que levam a uma boa
integração comunitária.
Conclusão: A participação cultural e comunitária, o conhecimento e acesso a
sistemas e serviços, a participação política ou cívica, as expectativas sobre imigrantes e
portugueses na sua comunidade e a satisfação com a vida afirmam-se como variáveis
importantes no desenvolvimento e implementação de programas ou estratégias que
levem a uma integração bem sucedida dos jovens cabo-verdianos na sociedade de
acolhimento.
