THE NÚCLEO DE CIDADANIA E DIREITOS HUMANOS OF THE UNIVERSIDADE FEDERAL DA PARAÍBA (2007): REMEMBERING ITS TRAINING AND RESISTANCE EDUCATIONAL PRACTICES

Abstract

The Núcleo de Cidadania e Direitos Humanos (NCDH), of the Universidade Federal da Paraíba (UFPB), created in 2007, is an academic space for training and building knowledge in/for Human Rights (HR). The reconstitution of the historical path that gave rise to it resulted in a new look, in the writing of another narrative, which verified its relevance for the academy and for the educational practices developed in the scope of teaching, research, extension and post-graduation in HR. It also enabled a reflection on the singularities and objectives of the institution, in its performance in the fight for the fulfillment and promotion of HR. From this perspective, the present project aims to recall the creation of the UFPB's NCDH, considering its contributions to the academy and society in Paraíba. For that, a qualitative research was carried out, allowing interfaces between documental and bibliographical sources, focusing on the training and educational practices of the Nucleus, investigating documents such as: the National Program of Human Rights 3 (NPHR-3), the National Plan Education in Human Rights and Resolution n. 28/2006, for creating and organizing the NCDH. The analysis included studies by Le Goff (2003), Germano (2011), among others. Through this knowledge, it was verified that the Nucleus exerts a notable contribution, acting as an entity of formation, promotion and effectiveness of the HR, fomenting necessary activities for the consolidation of a critical and citizen conscience, constituting a space of transformation and resistance.
