Os círculos de construção de paz como metodologia para a discussão das questões étnico-raciais na escola

Abstract

This article presents the results of studies carried out in the Specialization Course in Restorative Justice (JR) at Faculdade Madre Thaís (FMT) in Ilhéus-Bahia. Through a bibliographic review, we tried to answer the following question: How can ethnic-racial issues be addressed through Peacebuilding Circles in a school context? We present the restorative practice of the Peace Building Circle as a powerful methodology for dealing with issues of racial inequality in the school environment, considering the enormous diversity that this space presents and the violence that emanates from racism in our society. We realized throughout this study that the application of Peacebuilding Circles in the school context, with the treatment of ethnic-racial issues, constitutes a possible and urgent exercise, which presents an enormous contribution to the students' identity recognition.
