Education, Freedom, and the Unveiling of the Rural Educator in LEDOC-UFNT

Abstract

The use of life history workshops and social cartography in the training of rural educators, with a focus on the arts, has been our challenge since the first group of students in the Degree Program in Rural Education – Arts, at UFNT (LEDOC-UFNT). In a dialogical andinterdisciplinary context, life histories contribute to revealing collective identities particularly, in the case of Rural Education, identities that connect students in different ways to the lives of rural peoples, as well as those of the waters and the forests. This text presents a brief summary of Chapters 3 and 4 of the Doctoral Dissertation in Geography (IESA-UFG), defended in 2020, where the results of the use of life histories in the training process of rural educators are explored in greater depth.
