Contação de histórias: o mito como ferramenta de aproximação entre a universidade e povos tradicionais.

Abstract

The project “The botija is ours: history and sociability in Cariri Paraíba” has developed its activities in the three remaining quilombo communities in the municipality of Livramento-PB (Sands of Summer, Sussurana and Vila Teimosa). It aims at fostering university / community integration spaces. Such extension activities broaden the understanding of formative space and contribute to the valorization of black quilombola individuals. Its methodological proposal is the transdisciplinary between Human and Social Sciences and the area of languages. In this sense, the oral stories are recorded and used as methodological tools that allow the perception / experience of the dynamics of organization of this ethnic group. With this activity, we produce formative experiences for the students of the Social Sciences course as well as for the quilombola subjects, protagonists of this action, aspect that refers to the principle of extension, to build a university space integrated with the demands of the concrete subjects.
