Cultural diversity is a reality that imposes new responsibilities on the school, presenting itself not as a problem, but as an artifact that allows the construction of meaningful knowledge by the student. In this perspective, this study presents the educational potentialities identified in the development of the extension project "Dancing to Learn and Educate", linked to the Federal Institute of Education of Tocantins / IFTO-Campus Paraíso do Tocantins-TO. This research investigated the construction of knowledge from the perspective of the school and community relationship, through the dialogue between the body language of the dance and the social context of the student and the knowledge proposed in the subjects of the curriculum of the Integrated Technical Course for High School. For this, it presents characterized in a qualitative approach, having as research technique the case study and as instruments of data collection questionnaires, logbook and chats meetings. The theoretical framework is based on the perspectives of education of Paulo Freire (1996, 2011a, 2011b), the prospects for Laban (1978, 1991) and other theorists who study the dance-education area, The subjects investigated were students from the Integrated Technical Course to High School and from two state schools of the Paraíso do Tocantins city. The results of this research indicate that the educational methodology of the investigated extension project is gradually involving participating students and members of their community in dance actions that seek to learn and teach through the creative experience of the body, allowing free movement to enjoy and hybrid of dance and culture and expressing the meanings of life, the ways of living and being in the world.
Esse estudo teve como objetivo compreender e evidenciar as potencialidades educacionais do projeto de extensão, intitulado "Narrativas Visuais: A Vida como Obra de Arte", vinculado ao Instituto Federal do Tocantins (IFTO) Campus Paraíso do Tocantins, que parte de uma ação interdisciplinar nos bairros periféricos da cidade de Paraíso do Tocantins-TO com o intuito de ampliar a aproximação entre estudantes, escola e comunidade para, assim, promover uma prática pedagógica de ensinar e de aprender por meio do diálogo entre gerações, tendo a arte visual, a memória coletiva e o espaço urbano como mediadores. Esse projeto de extensão procurou capacitar, estimular e provocar os participantes a produzirem obras artísticas que dialogam com as memórias individuais e coletivas do seu contexto social, de forma que os saberes e as experiências da comunidade, em especial, dos mais velhos, pudessem ser reconhecidos e incorporados aos dos jovens estudantes, procurando produzir novos saberes e incluir esses estudantes e sua escola no cerne do processo de enraizamento e pertencimento de sua comunidade. Diante desta perspectiva, a prática educativa desta investigação constituiu-se nas perspectivas do diálogo-problematizador de Paulo Freire (1996, 2011a, 2011b), enquanto que o estudo da memória parte das fundamentações de Halbwachs (2004) em referência a memória coletiva, e dos estudos de Nora (1993) no tocante aos lugares de memória. Já a relação entre arte, memória e espaço urbano, articulada nesta pesquisa toma como base teórico-metodológica as perspectivas de Walter Benjamin (1984, 1993a, 1993b) à luz da sua concepção de que a memória constitui-se de um
