Águas que correm no Rio São Francisco: um mergulho nas memórias de Caroline Alves

Abstract

In this memorial I present reports of the most striking facts of my personal and academic journey, culminating in my achievement of a bachelor’s degree in Agroecology with an emphasis on Peasantry and Popular Education (BACEP) at the Federal Rural University of Pernambuco. In a descriptive way, I sought to portray my identity, origins, learning acquired during the course and plans for the future. To enrich this narrative, I used the “River of Time” tool, a timeline that highlights important moments and lessons learned along the way. The memorial is structured around thematic axes – Knowing, Planning, Acting and Evaluating – in which community and university experiences, immersions and internships are addressed. The experience enriched by the experiences during the course stands out, portraying the importance of traditional/ancestral knowledge and practices in the search for good living. In addition, the themes of Agrobiodiversity and animal husbandry are presented, serving as a guide for the internships carried out. Finally, the memorial aims to show my transformation, presenting a student educator capable of listening, understanding, analyzing and building together based on the present reality.
