EDUCATION IN HUMAN RIGHTS: DECOLONIZING

Abstract

This article aims to discuss the existing difficulties in the effective search for a social change in favor of marginalized populations, looking for possibilities that guarantee the conquest of the dignity of Brazilians. We ask ourselves: how to advance in the perspective of an Education for Citizenship based on Human Rights that, starting from the look of the Brazilian social formation, in a decolonizing bias, dialogue with the reality of the subaltern and defy the racist structures of society? The objective is to analyze the discourse that permeates Human Rights in an attempt to deconstruct it through decolonial bases. Specifically: reflect on the possibility of organizing an education for citizenship, based on fundamental human rights; highlight the need for a Brazilian social formation that decolonizes Human Rights through school education; and to seek alternatives for building a culturally plural society, which dialogues with the reality of the subaltern and confronts the racist structures of society. It is constituted as a bibliographical research based on the authors Lélia González, Aníbal Quijano and Paulo Feire. Decolonizing the aspects that constitute the rights guaranteed by law so that they approach the reality of the Brazilian people, it ended up bringing good ways to go towards the realization of what it proposed to reflect. It proved impetuous to believe in the creation of a new educational foundation and in the teacher's action as a research agent and equivalent action generator of social transformation that marks the emergence of a new pedagogy (or pedagogies).
