MAIN THEME: Education

By identifying the need to value the knowledge and culture of the people of the Ibirim community, in Pernambuco’s Rural Zone, the Alternative Technology Service created a teaching methodology that went beyond the walls of the schools and started to be carried out by several people from the region.

GOALS

Providing a methodology that facilitates teaching and learning by encouraging rural people to rescue their own identities and thereby build a new way of gaining knowledge and training educators in the local community.

DESCRIPTION

It is possible to learn from the heart. It was from this thought that the Educational Program for Supporting Sustainable Development developed a teaching system that invites students to tell their own stories. From there, the educator uses the student's reality to teach reading, writing, calculating, while building fundamental values for living in the field: self-esteem, identity, origin, territory, family and work.

RESULTS ACHIEVED

With the success of the idea, the methodology started to be applied in technical courses of Agroecology for graduating professionals. It is a feedback system because the more you know about your region, the more people want to study it. A learning that happens in solidarity, causing everyone to be participant and arousing a sense of belonging.
