FIELD EDUCATION AND AGROECOLOGY AT IFPA – CASTANHAL CAMPUS

Abstract

Rural Education and Agroecology, in this work, are thought of as possibilities for sociocultural and human transformation, as they are an integral part of an education of resistance and transformation, which can enable an understanding, in addition to work, as well as the construction of a society and technology as instruments and tools at the service of life and not the logic of capital. It is, therefore, a conception of education based on the principles of ethics, solidarity and social transformation, based on mutual respect between subjects, on strengthening dialogue between educators and students, in short, on the logic and appreciation of art of life. In this sense, the education conceived and defended by Educação do Campo and Agroecology is not an education molded according to the interests of the State, the bourgeois class or anyone else, it is rather an education project built from the historical and cultural reality of the collective subjects of the field, is an education project that considers the act of educating as an art of liberation, because it seeks to build the political and human emancipation of the subjects.
