O DIÁLOGO ENTRE RELIGIÃO E CULTURA NA “UMEI TEREZINHA AGOSTINI PAGOTTI” A PARTIR DA FESTA JUNINA NA ESCOLA: UM ESTUDO DE CASO COM OS PAIS E RESPONSÁVEIS.

Abstract

The research has as its theme: The dialogue between religion and culture with parents and guardians at UMEI "Terezinha Agostini Pagotti" from the June party at school. This theme is justified, among other reasons, by the researcher's perception of the prejudices that occur within the school community regarding the participation of children in the June festivals. It is noted every year, during the period of the June festivals, between the months of July and August, that some children do not participate in the activities of the festival due to lack of authorization from their parents and guardians. Therefore, the central question that guides the research is the following: What is the perception of the fathers, mothers and guardians of the children who study at UMEI "Terezinha Agostini Pagotti" in relation to the June festival and why do they not authorize the participation of their children in this party at school? As a general objective, it seeks to identify to what extent the decision of fathers, mothers and guardians for not authorizing the participation of children in the June festivities at school comes up against attitudes of intolerance and religious prejudice in the school environment. The specific objectives of the research include the need to: investigate the cultural and religious tradition of the June festival in Brazil and in school institutions; to identify whether the manifestations of the June festival are mentioned in the educational curriculum documents of the educational system of Vila Velha-ES; contribute to the dialogue between religion and culture, through reflection on the phenomenon of the June festival, investigating possible attitudes of religious intolerance; to prepare a directed study on religion and culture at school, with the aim of dialoguing with the fathers, mothers and guardians of the children enrolled in the UMEI "Terezinha Agostini Pagotti", at the beginning of the school year, aiming to clarify the methodology and the realization of the June festival at school. The methodology is based on bibliographic research and exploratory studies, based on the theoretical framework of the Sciences of Religions for the interpretation of religious phenomena. At the end of this study, a "directed study" on the importance of the June festival in school is suggested, aiming to break with religious racism and religious intolerance.
