Rethinking school routines: possibilities and practices for prejudices deconstruction

Abstract

The school is a dynamic space full of plural practices that occur in school daily life and that often go unnoticed by managers and teachers. This research and action project arises precisely from a practice of prejudice that occurred within the school and reported by a student. From the denunciation of these prejudices, we awakened our gaze to the different practices that occur within the school and constituted the present research that sought to understand the prejudices experienced mainly by LGBT students (Lesbians, gays, bisexuals, transvestites and transsexuals), in the school and , concomitantly with these surveys, there were works seeking to debate and raise awareness about other different prejudices / discrimination present there. From this, it was possible to problematize ingrained prejudice practices present in the school, aiming to provide an environment of respect for diversity. These debates, later, took place in the teachers' classes, when working in some way these themes in their subjects.
