O Centro Cultural São Francisco como espaço de reflexão sobre a escravidão em João Pessoa: uma experiência de estudo do meio com estudantes da EJA

Abstract

This research proposes a reflection on slavery in the city of João Pessoa, based on observations of the São Francisco Cultural Center, using an approach focused on Youth and Adult Education (EJA). The goal is to promote heritage education and the teaching of local history as tools for building critical awareness in students about the slave-owning past and its impact on the present. Through visits and analyses of historical remains, the study aims to promote the recognition of Afro-Brazilian memory, stimulating debates on resistance, identity, and social rights. By exploring historical spaces with a critical and participatory perspective, students become active agents in reconstructing silenced history and combating persistent inequalities. As a tool for collecting the results obtained from the visit, the students produced a report sharing their impressions of the field class in order to demonstrate the results of the study of the environment.
