Educação em Direitos Humanos no cotidiano das universidades: reflexões a partir do Projeto Diálogos.

Abstract

The Dialogues project has been developed since 2017 within the scope of the Observatório da Família / Menino Miguel Institute and represents the possibility of expanding spaces for human rights education in the daily life of the Federal Rural University of Pernambuco / UFRPE. The project works by creating spaces for reflection on themes linked to the fields of families, subordinates, access to rights, public policies and justice. The purpose of the proposal is to build and experience spaces for debate and reflection on public issues related to Human Rights, through the integration between extension actions at the University and groups / institutions / linked to the field of management, social movements, social justice, seeking to make feasible debates related to experiences from different “work floors”, enabling reflection and deepening of themes based on concrete experiences that are daily experienced in the meetings between subjects, such as institutions and access to rights. The delimitation of fields, selection of themes, subjects involved in the processes of mediation and dialogue, were carried out based on the themes of action of the Family Observatory, a group linked since 2011 to the Department of Domestic Sciences, today Department of Consumer Sciences and currently linked to the Menino Miguel Institute. For this article we will make the cut in the last two years of action of the project, 2018 and 2019, a period in which the actions of the Family Observatory turned to the perspective of the urban subaltern Ways of Life of bodies and us with experience of prison. We will present 5 debates held during the period, with themes related to the daily life and the experience of and in prison and, also, in the integration process between extension and research, 3 three focus groups with reflections on prison, incarceration and incarcerated bodies. The results point to the need to bring the theme of prison into the Universities as a way of broadening the understanding of future professionals in different areas about the trajectories that lead to incarceration in a society that is noted for the mass incarceration of young people, black, poor and peripheral.
