Contribuições do Núcleo de Cidadania e Direitos Humanos da Universidade Federal da Paraíba na formação de educadores(as) em direitos humanos

Abstract

Human Rights Education (EDH) emerged as an act of resistance to the Military Regime, as a non-formal education practice, and was institutionalized as a Public Education Policy in 2003, through the National Plan for Human Rights Education (PNEDH). In view of this, the Brazilian State committed to implementing it, since the National Guidelines for Human Rights Education (DNEDH) (Brazil, 2012) guide the inclusion of the theme in Education, with the urgent need to train educators in Human Rights (DH). In Paraíba, the Center for Citizenship and Human Rights (NCDH) of the Federal University of Paraíba (UFPB) was responsible for implementing the aforementioned Plan. In this context of actions developed within the scope of Education in and for Human Rights (DH), we are approaching a lato sensu Specialization course for Basic Education teachers and other professionals linked to Human Rights. We analyze experiences in the educational practices of Human Rights educators from the 3rd Regional Education Management of the State of Paraíba (GRE-PB), regarding the Campina Grande (PB) Hub, graduates of the Specialization Course in Education for Human Rights, in the blended learning modality, offered by the NCDH of UFPB, between 2013 and 2015. From this perspective, our specific objectives focus on: contextualizing the insertion of EDH in Latin America and Brazil, reflecting on the insertion of EDH in the NCDH, and its contribution to the training of educators in Human Rights in Basic Education, in the State of Paraíba. We chose the qualitative research method, considering the object of our study. The theoretical-methodological approach started with a bibliographical research, based on authors such as Zenaide (2014), Tosi (2014), Sacavino (2007), Benevides (2007), Candau (2007) among others. The documentary analysis includes the national and international scales, for example; CF/88; PNDH, LDB, serving as an instrument for the promotion of Education in and for Human Rights. The methodology includes area and documentary research, with the realization of semi-structured interviews with three Basic Education Teachers, graduates of the Course, whose information was submitted to Content Analysis based on Bardin (1977). This way, the research revealed the importance of the NCDH in the Training of Educators in Human Rights, in the State of Paraíba, as well as in the commitment of UFPB to the PNEDH.
