Direito à educação e resgate da cidadania de crianças e adolescentes em situação de risco social: um estudo da experiência da Cidade Escola Aprendiz

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to present community education as an important tool to promote citizenship of children and adolescent at social risk. We will present the process of democratization of citizenship, having chosen as the theoretical approaches to this analysis, the greek concept of citizenship as well as the concept of citizenship developed by Hannah Arendt. We will review the right to equality and the right to difference. We will present children and adolescents as peculiar right holders. We will clarify that children and adolescents than those who fall into the social risk are in a different situation, more prone to violation. We will present an analysis of the legal protection of the right to education of children and adolescents in three distinct and complementary spheres, namely: the global, regional (american) and national (brazilian). We will briefly present education in family and education at the school to then introduce community education developed by Cidade Escola Aprendiz. We will examine four technologies needed to implement the Bairro-Escola, created by the Cidade Escola Aprendiz. Next, we will present the case study developed by the Bairro-Escola developed by Cidade Escola Aprendiz in Vila Madalena, stating that community education can be used to fight the exile and the invisibility of children and adolescents at social risk, enabling the rescue of citizenship of these children and adolescents
