A atuação do profissional LEA-NI como mediador Intercultural : relato de experiência do caso dos indígenas Warao na Paraíba

Abstract

This study reflects on the contributions of intercultural mediation to the reception of the Warao indigenous people in Paraíba, based on the author's academic and outreach experiences. The research starts from the question of how professionals in Foreign Languages Applied to International Negotiations (LEA-NI) contribute to intercultural mediation and the defense of the rights of these peoples. The motivation for the study stems from academic and extension experiences lived by the author with indigenous immigrants, through projects such as CONTEMP, the Yaotasaba Warao solidarity economy course, and I COMIGRAR PB, all carried out at the Federal University of Paraíba. The methodology used is qualitative in nature, exploratory and descriptive, using the textual genre of experience reports, based on bibliographic references. In addition, the work is guided by the principles of human rights, based, among other documents, on the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (2007). Finally, the study seeks to offer theoretical and practical contributions to the formulation of fairer and more intercultural reception strategies, highlighting that care and mediation with indigenous migrants must take into account linguistic, cultural, and institutional aspects in an integrated manner.
