Educação infantil, currículo e cidade: crianças em espaços culturais de Belo Horizonte

Abstract

This article analyzes the experiences of children and adults, from a public institution of Early Childhood Education, in visits to cultural spaces in the city of Belo Horizonte, seeking to understand how children build meanings of their urban experience at a museum and a public marketplace. The children’s right to the city, in its mobility and appropriation dimensions, is debated, while the educational processes experience in public spaces and facilities and their possible relationship with the curriculum are analyzes. Supported by childhood studies and theoretical production on Early Childhood Education Curriculum, the work is in line with debates about understanding of the city and public facilities as a locus of education for young children.
