EDUCATING FOR ETHNIC-RACIAL RELATIONSHIPS FROM EXTENSIONIST ACTIONS TAILORED TO BLACK AESTHETICS

Abstract

Fruit of extension actions developed within the scope of the Black Identity in Action Extension Project, developed at the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Ceará - Campus Juazeiro do Norte (IFCE-JN), by the Center for Afro-Brazilian and Indigenous Studies (NEABI ). This work presents the extension project “black identity in action”, specifically the actions developed with a thematic focus on black aesthetics and the learning and meanings generated among the participants. Actions such as cine-debate, gaining the name CINENEABI, conversation circles, workshops, lectures and technical visits were carried out. We can see the potential of actions to combat and raise awareness among the population about racism, with the learning generated being linked to black history and culture and the construction of political and ideological thinking in favor of anti-racist education, in which whites and blacks, they embrace the struggle as a strategy for the common good and social equality. The execution of this project generated hope in us, from the verb hope, as Paulo Freire says that an anti-racist society is possible and is the only inclusive path to follow.
