Teachings and knowledge of languages in the Amazon: between voices that shout and the forest that rises

Abstract

This article presents the discussions held by study groups that research the teaching of languages as a means of interlocution between different knowledge and cultures present in the Amazonian way of life, which took place during the 1st Pan-Amazonic Congress of Basic Education Teachers in Language and Literature (Cllimaz), held at the Federal University of Pará. Among the topics addressed, aspects related to Amazon preservation stand out, such as Indigenous School Education, Education of the Countryside, Waters and Forests, among others. The discussions followed a propositional script organized in conversation groups, with the aim of strengthening the debate on pedagogical praxis operated in different educational spaces. The main objective was to address climate change in the Amazon region caused by the predatory occupation and exploitation of natural resources, and how these issues reach schools through curricular content. The discussions between the conversation groups pointed to the promotion of public education policies as necessary for environmental preservation and the recognition of Amazonian identities and ethnicities.
