EDUCAÇÃO INFANTIL: RESPEITAR A DIVERSIDADE RELIGIOSA, SUPERAR VIOLÊNCIAS, EDUCAR PARA A PAZ. UMA REFLEXÃO SOBRE ATIVIDADES INTERDISCIPLINARES DESENVOLVIDAS NO CENTRO DE EDUCACÃO INFANTIL JOÃO PEDRO DE AGUIAR – VITÓRIA/ES

Abstract

This dissertation seeks to reflect on the importance of children's education, with respect to respect for religious and cultural diversity, for overcoming violence, with a perspective on education for peace. Education for peace needs to be understood here as the reflection and the realization of activities that lead to respect for the existing plurality. The education of children takes place in the pedagogical making of caring and educating. The child is understood as subject of rights, according to the Statute of the Child and the Adolescent. Therefore, it actively participates in the pedagogical process. It is from the children that is constructed the pedagogical doing in the infantile education. The history of education in Brazil has been the object of long discussions and many publications, due to the present reality of violence in schools and society in general. This reality of violence is also present in early childhood education. When thinking about a more efficient kindergarten, we seek a pedagogical practice that values and respects the child, supporting it in its difficulties and limitations, giving it freedom so that it can reflect and express itself in the most different forms. In this sense, a consideration is made on the pedagogical project “To educate for peace: breaking the walls of the CMEI to overcome the culture of violence”, developed by all the classes of child education from the Center of Infantile Education João Pedro de Aguiar, with involvement childrens, the families of the children, teachers and employees. The interdisciplinary project involved all children's activities, culminating with the painting of the wall of the Education Center, pointing to the respect for plurality as a condition for the construction of peace - and peace is colorful, as shown in the paintings of the wall of the CMEI.
