This article presents a reflexive look about the relationship between youth and adult world. It comes from our experience during clinical and educational psychology interventions with the Nursing and Medicine young students at the Sanitas Foundation University. More than ever, youth people need a closer presence from the adults in their lives. But, how can we promote that approximation between these two worlds? To feed such reflection, we took different authors in the legal, psychological, religious, sociological and anthropological fields. The orientation hypothesis turns around the appreciative look of the resources and skills that the young people have; so that we, the adults, can make a real approach and join them during the construction and achievement of their personal and professional dreams.
