A INTERCOMPREENSÃO COMO FERRAMENTA DE AUXÍLIO AOS AGENTES NÃO-GOVERNAMENTAIS NA PARAÍBA: COMPREENDER PARA MEDIAR

Abstract

This Project approaches the use of the intercomprehension as a possible tool for communication in a migratory context, based on the observation and participation in non-governmental agents’ activities in João Pessoa. In this way, we intend to contextualize the Venezuelans immigrants’ experienced reality in the capital of Paraiba, to understand in what ways interaction between the agents and Venezuelans immigrants works, as well as the reception and integration activities, promoted by the non-governmental institution Aldeias SOS Brasil. We pretend also to analyze the role of the Foreign Languages Applied professional as a support in non-governmental organizations. The qualitative investigative methodology used was the moderate participant observation, applied in three official hosting actions, which use as instruments, on daily occurring’s of the NGO, observation of the three interaction situations, description of the experiences and informal interviews with the agents involved in those activities. The partial results showed that, the intercomprehension among with other linguistics instruments are applicable practices to the migrants and refugees hosting actions, nonetheless through an objective communication approach, which this paper has configured. As so, this research presents itself relevant to everyone who deals directly or indirectly with interlinguistic mediation in the migration context.
