Construindo conhecimentos sobre direitos humanos a partir de atividades escolares mediadas por filmes

Abstract

This research aimed at designing activities to build knowledge about human rights for students from a public school in Belo Horizonte located in a vulnerable area in the city. Initially, we formed a focal group with nine students enrolled in ninth grade so the students could talk about problems in society. The interactions produced in this focal group were analyzed using tools from Content Analysis. We created school tasks about human rights using the results of the research and didactic sequencing methodology. They use films to reflect upon human rights and build knowledge about this issue. In order to share these activities and the debate about this topic with students, the school community and the academy, we created a free e-book, which was shared on a website. We also created a profile on Instagram, so as to offer more space for conversations with students and teachers.
