HERITAGE EDUCATION AND BNCC: RESCUING ROOTS AND PROMOTING CITIZENSHIP

Abstract

The BNCC, throughout its text, is concerned with the aspect of valuing culture and how schools need to dialogue with their students about what it is like to be in a society that carries with it the cultural identity that contributes to its moral and ethical values. Heritage education activities should be a recurring practice in the school environment, which makes students protagonists of their learning when they problematize and investigate local history. For children, adolescents or young people learn to respect themselves and the environment where they live from the contact with individuals who surround them and with the cityscapes or public places where they live. And, in this sense, the teaching and learning process goes beyond the classroom, it becomes alive and meaningful when they also identify with these stories and recognize themselves as agents of preservation and dissemination of local heritage, through shared experiences.
