Argumentos em defesa da integração das Políticas de Educação e Cultura na época de sua separação instrumental.

Abstract

This article aims to present a review of the arguments in favor of the greater presence of culture and arts contents in educational processes, both inside and outside the classroom and school. The arguments here focused mostly come from two main sources: on the one hand, the defense arguments found in reference documents from two relevant international organizations, UNESCO and OECD. On the other, we explore the results and impacts of the teaching of culture contents (arts, humanities, heritage and cultural diversity, and creative economy) in a series of dimensions of educational life and its surroundings, already identified by consistent specialized literature. The conclusions address some risks and challenges for such agenda in Brazil. In methodological terms, the arguments and research of impacts here analyzed were selected based on the reputational criteria of their contributions.
