O Ensino Religioso e a cultura de paz: uma vivência dos círculos de paz no ambiente escolar de tempo integral da UMEF Reverendo Antônio da Silva Cosmo

Abstract

This paper addresses peace education as the main theme. Therefore, it was intended to answer the following research question: What advances can the configuration of a school discipline on the Culture of Peace, worked in partnership with Religious Education, have for the horizon of education for peace? It is hypothesized that the foundation of the Culture of Peace in school, through the discipline of Religious Education, allows the reflection and implementation of educational practices capable of transforming the conflicting environment into a space of dialogue, tolerance and respect. For the correct basis of the proposed theme, we used works by several authors, including Almeida (2021); Andrade e Silva (2020); Bicalho (2020); Boonen (2011); Evans and Vaandering (2018); Huff Junior (2009); Thiollent and Colette (2014); Passeri (2020); Pranis (2010; 2019); Streck (2012); Vicente (2015). The main objective of the research was to build a course planning that aims to articulate the concepts of Peace Culture in school with the discipline of Religious Education as well as to promote the execution of the proposal assuming an experiential character and complementary to the reflexive approach on the subject in Religious Education. Regarding the methodology, bibliographic research was used, through which a search and selection of previously elaborated materials was made, such as doctrines, scientific articles, journals and journals. Furthermore, the qualitative approach was used to analyze and discuss the results obtained with the bibliographic survey. At the end of the research it is understood that it is essential to provide citizens with the notion of the breadth and complexity involved in building a Culture of Peace, especially in relation to promoting in each being a critical thought about society reflecting on how this constitutes its relations allows, step by step its structures to be gradually, modified in search of a more convivent world.
