The thesis presents a comparative study between Brazil and Italy, with regard to Internet uses and appropriations referred to young people of low income or with limited access opportunities. Based on the methodological assumptions of qualitative research, the research aims to understand the changes caused by the impact of Internet in young people’s of everyday life, considering two different realities. Thus, in continuous dialogue with theorists who study the subject, the thesis presents and analyzes media and official speeches, statistics on the uses of ICT in both countries, in addition to the testimonies of coordinators, mentors and users. In defining the empirical field, the thesis makes a cut in the Italian reality, choosing a project called terza area developed by Cremit - Research Center of the University of the Sacred Heart of Milan in partnership with the School Oriani Mazzini, toward the inclusion students with few opportunities for media access. In Brazil, the clip falls on LAN Houses, shopping paid Internet access, through the speeches of the students of the Institute of Education Clelia Nanci in Niteroi, Rio de Janeiro, the same condition as frequent users of LANs, a phenomenon running through the different social classes, though remaining a preferred location for Internet access among the less favored population. In this sense, we introduce the issue of unequal access, digital divide, the construction of citizenship and democracy, and the role of education in this context. The significant contributions are in critical reflection on the issue of access and questions about the digital divide, both in Brazil and in Italy. The results provide clues to the articulation of educational programs that develop digital inclusion from the perspective of social inclusion, since, as indicated by the data, one does not take place without the other.
