Pensar, sentir e querer a diversidade étnica, cultural e linguística dos países da américa latina dentro da formação de professores waldorf

Abstract

Just as the training practices for the students must be conceived taking into account the local culture and the socio-cultural environment in which they are immersed, the training practices of teachers also need to be conceived in harmony with the diversity of the social and cultural situations of the world as an all. The knowledge and recognition of the importance of the different cultures that existed in America and Africa before two periods of forced colonization, helps us to value an immensity of knowledge and combat inequalities, discrimination and preconceptions, but there is still a great distance to the respect of these cultures and a belief very marked on the modernity and grandeur of European cultures.

With the emergence in recent years of decolonial and anti-racist movements within Waldorf schools, such as the Black Waldorf Movement and the Anti-Racist Movement in Waldorf pedagogy, the need for pedagogical strategies and resources more centered on Brazil becomes evident. But thinking about a more significant change, it would be important to also think about strategies and approach resources for teachers with the ethnic, cultural and linguistic diversity of two countries in Latin America, as well as rich themes and multiple epistemologies that can generate innovative content (think), identities and affections (feeling) and procedures and actions (wanting) turned into everyday pedagogical activities.

This research aims to clarify the curricular proposals in the training in Waldorf Pedagogy and identify the presence or absence of content on ethnic, cultural and linguistic diversity in two Latin American countries. For this purpose, the curricular content that is accessible in the Training in Pedagogy Waldorf will be studied and professors who will culminate their formation or that are about to end will be interviewed. The study also aims to bring about a debate and awaken or interest in including the indigenous, geographical, historical and popular epistemologies of different countries in Latin America.
