Educação para a paz: reflexões e interfaces com o Serviço de Convivência e Fortalecimento de Vínculos

Abstract

Culture of Peace and Education for Peace are themes of Public Policies in Brazil, mainly in the educational field with the advancement of Federal Law No. 13.663 of May 14th, 2018, which prevents violence and promotes peace in all educational areas. The Brazilian education scenario has been permeated by various forms of violence and every citizen has the right to think about the possibility of change and social protection. Therefore, the present research aims to study Education for Peace towards the Coexistence and Strengthening of Bonds Service (SCFV), a service provided by the Basic Social Protection of the Unified Social Assistance System (SUAS), with its analysis based on the Public Social Assistance Policy. Thus, the general objective of the research is to understand the theoretical and methodological foundations of Education for Peace related to elements of the Culture of Peace and the Five Pedagogies of Peace, in the Coexistence Service and in the execution of the Public Social Assistance Policies. In order to develop this

thesis, entities that serve children and adolescents ages 6 to 15 years old in situations of vulnera- bility and risk, and registered with the Municipal Social Assistance Council of the Municipality

of Ponta Grossa/PR were selected in the year 2022. This is a qualitative and exploratory research,

which can also be described as a bibliographic and documentary study. The tool for data collec- tion was a semi-structured digital questionnaire prepared on the Google Forms platform and sent

through email to the research subjects which were technical professionals of the Coexistence Service. Eight technicians answered the questionnaire. Bardin (2016) analysis method was used to perform the data analysis. As a theoretical contribution to the Social Assistance Policy, this research sought foundations in Santos (2022), Koupak (2021), Lilian Schwarcz (2019), and Jessé Souza (2019). Paulo Freire (2021) and Jares (2008) contributed discussions regarding the Culture of Peace and Education for Peace as well as Salles Filho (2019) for the Five Pedagogies of Peace foundations. For this purpose, the South of Boaventura de Souza Santos (2020) epistemologies were addressed, in addition to Herrera Flores (2009) human rights principles and other authors. From the content analysis, it was possible to identify the relevance of the theme within the scope

of public policies, as well as the need for Education for Peace and Culture of Peace in the coe- xistence service. It is noticeable the concern of reference technicians to instruct the entire profes- sional team of the social assistance network to work with Education for Peace and Culture of

Peace in the context of coexistence, as well as in guaranteeing the social protection of participants

in the coexistence service. Thus, work has been developed in social assistance entities with me- diation of conflicts, in favor of non-violence, and in the search to promote peace.
