Educação das Relações Étnico-Raciais e Currículo

Abstract

The Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Bahia is honored to present the Pedagogical Collection of the Asé-Toré Program: Education Training about Black people and Indigenous peoples, a product of one of the educational programs for ethnic-racial relations developed by the Systemic Directorate of Affirmative Policies and Student Affairs – DPAAE/IFBA. We are happy to materialize this collection, which marks our institution's commitment to validating national legislation that mandates education on the History of Africa, Afro-Brazilian, and Indigenous peoples, identifying it as a victory of Brazilian social movements, both Black and Indigenous. Thus, we recognize the struggles of those who came before, we thank the staff, managers, and students who bravely promote racial debate at IFBA, and we strengthen efforts toward an anti-racist education. The Asé-Toré Pedagogical Collection represents a milestone in the institutionalization of actions that contribute to the IFBA solidifying its institutional mission: "Promote the formation of the historical-critical citizen, offering teaching, research, and extension with socially referenced quality, aiming at the sustainable development of the country." Furthermore, the Collection inaugurates new institutional and interdisciplinary strategies by developing a didactic product accessible to all levels, forms, and modalities of education that we offer. I wish you good reading and studies. May the Asé-Toré Pedagogical Collection reach the IFBA community and also the families of our students, social organizations, and educational institutions in our State and country.
