ETHNIC-RACIAL RELATIONS, GENDER AND WORK: BLACK WOMEN AND ANTIRRACIST EDUCATION AT THE CULTURAL EXHIBITION OF COLÉGIO OURO PRETO IN BELO HORIZONTE

Abstract

This paper presents a description and analysis of the pedagogical practices at Colégio Ouro Preto (COPBH) in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais. The aim was to verify how the school has developed interdisciplinary projects based on Laws 10.639/2003 and 11.645/2008 and the effects of such actions. A description and qualitative analysis of pedagogical practices will be presented, relating to the work developed by 2nd year High School students at the 2024 Cultural Exhibition, whose theme was “Labor Laws and Society: World of Work and Black Women”. The Cultural Exhibition, held annually between September and October, serves as a valuable space for reflection and debate on relevant social issues, aiming to contribute to student education. This paper presents the project's conception and development, the references used by students, the involvement of the school community. The results indicate that there was great student participation, enabling reflections and discussions about ethnic-racial relations, gender and work in Brazil.
