Drawing on Black intellectual traditions and Afro-Brazilian epistemologies, it discusses the recognition of Black childhood, the struggle against religious and structural racism, and the need for curricular reconfiguration, affirming ancestral knowledge and Black scholarship as foundations for citizenship, belonging, and social justice.

The objective is to document the history of the uses of the space and the heritage recognition of this speleological site, aiming to explore its educational potential. The method uses historical-documentary research, encompassing records from the 19th century to the present day. The results indicate that the cave, originally called Rifaina Cave, served as a meeting and leisure place since the beginning of the 20th century. The presence of the Passig brothers, photographers, in the 19th century and the visit of Santos Dumont in 1931 are recorded. In 1915, it hosted scouts from Franca for educational activities, and in 1955, students from Ouro Preto carried out a geological expedition. The area belonging to the Palhares family was expropriated in 1965, becoming a Municipal Park. Official recognition occurred in 1997 through Municipal Law number 548, which promoted the listing based on its speleological, landscape, cultural, and touristic value. It is concluded that the Palhares Cave transitioned from private property to municipal public property. Currently, it is configured as a tourist attraction with modern infrastructure, maintaining historical relevance symbolized by the cross installed since 1918, consolidating itself as cultural heritage and an interdisciplinary educational resource with great educational potential.

The contents of history textbooks obscure the participation of children and adolescents in the historical process, contributing to the social construction of a memory that excludes them as subjects. In this way, it becomes essential to problematize with students the existence and experience of these subjects in history. For Canadian historian Robert Rosenstone, films, like books, tell stories in ways that allow the viewer to interpret and re-signify the filmic images. Considering the importance of audiovisuals for the construction of sensibilities and intelligibilities in contemporary times, this research selected some films from which didactic proposals were prepared for high school students in Brazilian public schools, with the aim of expanding the possibilities of seeing and problematizing narratives and different experiences lived by children and adolescents throughout history. This selection is based on their potential to critically challenge the didactic historiography of schools, taking into account both the historical contexts to which they refer and the plot of the narratives. The product of this research is a Support Material for teachers to mobilize films in the classroom that deal with the history of children and adolescents for secondary schools, theoretically and methodologically oriented by the reflections of the German philosopher Walter Benjamin, who emphasizes the potential of cinema to promote deviant perceptions, provoking the boiling of other sensitivities and re-significations of lived experiences. In addition, considering the articulation between school and non-school spaces in the historical engendering of sensitivities, in the wake of Brazilian historian Maria Carolina Bovério Galzerani, the Material is aligned with the production of historical-educational knowledge in the classroom from a critical perspective and sensitive to the experiences of the subjects, capable of mobilizing sensitivities about the understanding of the role of children and adolescents in the present and in the past, with a view to a future open to possibilities more committed to the rights of these subjects.

Based on theoretical references from environmental history and discussions on the concepts of space and territory, associated with the analysis of nature in the capitalist mode of production, the approach seeks to interpret social dynamics through the discourse of technical rationality, which guides human intervention in the biophysical environment. We start from the hypothesis that Correio de Uberlândia, as a vehicle linked to the city’s ruling groups, contributed to incorporating a technical and political vocabulary about intervention in rivers, supporting the structuring of DMAE and ETA Sucupira as essential elements for urban management and economic growth in the city, wich sought to establish itself as the “metropolis of the Triângulo Mineiro” in the view of these groups, with water supply being a determining factor in sustaining this accelerated growth. Analysis of newspaper reports showed that ETA Sucupira was hailed as a major achievement and na act of boldness and local autonomy, promising pure and abundant water to supply the city beyond the year 2000. The newspaper described the Uberabinha River and the Sucupira Waterfall as na ideal site, transformed by hyman and technological intervention, contributing to giving new social content to these water territories. The ETA Sucupira and acess to water remained central themes in political and discursive disputes, highlighting how the instrumentalization of water resources was fundamental to Uberlândia’s progress and growth project.
