Mandalando memórias camponesas: buscando caminhos d'água e da saúde integral a partir de práticas participativas agroecológicas no Sertão de Crateús - Ceará

Abstract

This work aims to present my academic trajectory and how it was built from alternating between the university and the territory where I live. I rescued peasant memories in the form of a mandala of time, presenting memorable moments from my life. Analyzing this period with the water paths experienced by my family in the backlands, I bring the relationships in the construction of Agroecology based on belonging to the Earth, community life, facing mineral model projects, health care based on of integrative practices, medicinal plants and the rescue of female self-knowledge as a healing tool for action in the world, resulting in sustainable redesigns of ethnoagroecosystems and the peasant way of life. I used the following methodologies: rereading the reports, maps, drawings, texts used and selected the themes that most caught my attention to guide my writing. Given the reflections and learnings, I conclude and affirm my important mission as an educator in Agroecology in the collaboration of empowering rural people, based on creative, participatory methodologies and an act of love that revolutionizes.
