Glossário infantil: o direito a coautoria no Brasil e em Moçambique

Abstract

This experimental course conclusion project consisted on the application of interactive games and the creation of the Illustrated Children's Glossary: Brazil-Mozambique, result of the union in the illustrations glossaries created in the cities of Maputo - Mozambique and Santa Maria/RS - Brazil about the theme of Human Rights in a collaborative manner with elementary/high school children in public institutions in these cities in 2019. Through the general objective of creating glossaries, in print and digital format, in a collaborative manner with Brazilian and Mozambican children, we sought answers to our problem: What marks and cultural realities about childhood and 'being a child' are highlighted through the illustrations by children in these two countries? The methodological choice by action-research made it possible to change the children’s relationship from subject-object to subject-subject (PERUZZO, 2016), showing that they are capable of being co-protagonists and not merely investigated objects. Thanks to the children’s collaboration, it was possible to understand the importance of creating spaces and opportunities for each one to “say his own word” (FREIRE, 2005). It is concluded that the project allowed Mozambican and Brazilian children the right to free expression through speech and drawing, as well as the exercise of co-authorship of their creations and glossary. In addition, it provided the practice of learning acquired throughout college through the creation of an editorial product that could subsidize teaching practice for the respective age group in a collaborative and authorial perspective.
