A educação contextualizada no âmbito do programa cisternas de placas no cariri paraibano.

Abstract

Strategies of coexistence with the semiarid need to have a bigger attention against water fragility which characterize the region, like sustainable management of the water source and the captation appreciation, storage and management of rainwater for appropriate production. Alternative water technologies for collecting and storing rainwater to production and human consumption are mechanisms that make this coexistence with the semiarid in a harmonious way. Thus, our research titled "Contextualized Education in the Scope of the Plate Cisterns Program in Cariri Paraibano", aims to identify the Contextualized Education actions in the Plates Cisterns Program and how this education is assimilated by the Program beneficiaries. Field research was carried out in the rural area of Sumé municipality, in the western cariri of Paraíba, where we identified the subjects involved and applied the questionnaires as research technique to 20 beneficiaries in a total of 500 already benefited by the Program in this municipality, specifically in the communities of Craibeiras, Jurema, Junco, Perímetro Irrigado, Várzea da Roça e Laginha. We verified the importance of this Program as a public policy focused on Living with the Semiarid and the importance of practicing / training so that we can identify which subjects we are dealing with and to know better the reality of each one. A very rich exchange of knowledge, between the popular and the scientific, making it an effective policy, not only in the technical part of technology, but in the formation of enabling each beneficiary, farmer of our Semiarid, to know their own potentialities, and to see our Semiarid as a cradle of possibilities and not a delay.
