Ancestralidade e resistência: movimentos das mulheres negras na luta pelo direito à terra e ao território

Abstract

This paper is presented to the Postgraduate Program of the Professional Master's Degree in Professional and Technological Education (ProfEPT), with the aim of developing the research entitled Ancestrality and Resistance: The Black Women's Movement in the Struggle for the Right to Land and Territory. The objective of this study is to understand the relationships between territory, work and the trajectory of struggle of women who participate in the Homeless Movement of Bahia. The locus of the research is the Alto da Conquista and Marielle Franco occupations, located in the municipality of Simões Filho, Bahia. Thus, some formative dimensions of the process of struggle for territory, such as community organization, affectivity and symbologies, are studied with the aim of understanding the pedagogical practices and community knowledge present in the territory. For this, a qualitative approach centered on action research is used. The educational product was the elaboration and implementation of a Political Training Course that was developed based on popular education methodologies, privileging the debate and problematization of the participants' realities. Its application aimed to promote pedagogical practices that dialogue with the worldview of the subjects involved, connecting educational content to concrete experiences. The course articulated theory and practice through a transformative approach, based on popular education, which values the protagonism of the subjects. In addition, the educational product encouraged contextualized practices that engaged with local realities. It also stood out for integrating technical knowledge with a critical and emancipatory perspective, forming subjects capable of intervening in their realities in an autonomous and supportive manner. Finally, methodological innovation, with the use of participatory practices, makes the training more meaningful and aligned with the principles of popular education. In this way, we achieved the expected result with the project of contributing to broadening the discussion on pedagogy present in the struggle of social movements and the conceptual bases of Technological Professional Education, through the creation of educational products imbued with educational, territorial and political meaning.
