O que as conferências em direitos humanos tem a dizer sobre a universidade pública? Caminhos que aproximam a participação popular e institucional em Minas Gerais

Abstract

This intervention project aims to reflect on the proposals debated at the seven State Conferences on Human Rights in the state of Minas Gerais, which took place in 2015, which establish a relationship between citizenship and the Public University, in addition to making considerations about how this participatory process can affect in the formulation of public policies on higher education, in the broad and multiple sense of this scenario. For that, the authors Avritzer (2016) and Arroyo (2007) are used as a theoretical reference, since they articulate themes considered central in this study, namely, democracy, participation, citizenship and education; as well as theoretical contributions that deal with the methodology of “analysis of social networks”, already developed in the institutional environment of the Secretariat for Human Rights, Social Participation and Citizenship (SEDPAC). With this, it is expected to elaborate an intervention project to integrate the planning of the actions of the Directorates of the Observatory of Human Rights and of Education in Human Rights and, in this way, contribute to the improvement of the public service of the state of Minas Gerais in the related policies to the topic in question.
