Violência de gênero e educação histórica: experiências e reflexões a partir do PROINTER (Projeto Interdisciplinar)

Abstract

This paper results from the integration of two pedagogical intervention projects developed in the PROINTER III and PROINTER IV courses, carried out at Escola Estadual Ângela Teixeira da Silva in Uberlândia. The project focused on raising awareness among elementary school students about gender- and sexual-based violence, from a critical and dialogical historical perspective. The paper reports the experience of designing and implementing an educational project aimed at sensitizing students, combining documentary analysis, mediated debates, interactive activities, and the use of real cases, such as the well-known “Mamede Case.” The research is qualitative, descriptive, and exploratory, supported by authors such as Paulo Freire, Helayne Lima, and Sônia Miranda, who advocate a transformative educational practice centered on sensitive topics. Based on the experience, the paper discusses the challenges of addressing delicate issues with adolescents, including male resistance, the reproduction of gender stereotypes, and the need for psychological support. It concludes that schools are central spaces for building a culture of peace and that History teaching, combined with critical practice, contributes to forming socially engaged individuals.
