Amidst the diversity of values and cultures to which we are inserted, it is necessary to rethink our actions in the face of disrespectful attitudes with the Afro-descendants that make up the majority of the Brazilian population being historically discriminated against and disrespected in their roots and manifestations.
Therefore, one can see the need for constant work from the beginning, providing constant debates, moments of reflection and appreciation of African culture, understanding its importance for dialogue and harmonious coexistence with the diversity.

1.4. problematic
Historically, Brazil, in the legal aspect, had an active and permissive posture in the face of discrimination and racism that affects the Brazilian population of African descent to this day. In this sense, when analyzing the data that point to inequalities between whites and blacks, the need for specific policies that reverse the current situation was found.
1.5. Goal
In the field of education, promoting ethical education, aimed at respect and harmonious coexistence with diversity, must start from significant themes, which provide conditions for that students develop their dialogical capacity, become aware of our own historical roots that helped and help to constitute the culture and form the nation Brazilian; because prejudice and racism are one of the forms of violence. Given this, which situations are we likely to change? What would be our concrete contribution to make people's awareness possible? These are questions that the project plans to answer through an interdisciplinary look
1.6. Title
Black Consciousness Project: Education has no color.
The National Day of Zombie and Black Consciousness, celebrated on November 20, was officially instituted by Law No. 12,519, of November 10, 2011. The date refers to the death of Zumbi, the then leader of Quilombo dos Palmares – located between the states of Alagoas and Pernambuco, in the Northeast region of Brazil. Zumbi was killed in 1695, on that date, by pioneers led by Domingos Jorge Velho, commemorating this date is debating and reflect on racial differences and the importance of each in the process of building our country, state and community.
The challenge of teaching that we are also the result of these ethno-cultural elements, which contributed in various ways to the formation of Brazilian society, was not an easy task. It was necessary to create strategies to direct the teaching action and that these could promote the reconstruction and the redefinition of concepts, contexts and methods that would help in the narrative of the teacher.
In recent decades, historiography has presented a series of new works that have sought to renew the perception of black slavery and our society throughout history. The way of seeing the slave's participation in everyday actions and practices was also rethought.
An approach to slavery that simply considers physical violence and oppression of slaves – and that does not observe them as subjects who sought to overcome captivity, causing other actions in addition to escapes and aggressions against their masters - it is no longer recommended for teaching in the school.
Historical knowledge is not immutable and can be revised as the scientific field advances, which leads us to constantly reflect on our training and the teaching knowledge we gather to carry out work in the classroom. class.
Today, Brazilian law requires schools to teach subjects related to the history of African peoples in their curriculum. In addition, the National Curriculum Parameters (PCNs) establish that the country's cultural diversity must be addressed in the school environment. “The society in which we live values another stereotype, which results in the invisibility of black people. This has a very perverse effect: black children never see each other and what they look at is always different from them”, explains Roseli, who coordinated the group responsible for the document on Cultural Plurality in the PCNs. "Cultural plurality is a theme that can be approached in a transversal way, in several disciplines”, he concludes. Simple strategies, such as the introduction of black dolls, can have a positive effect in reinforcing the cultural identification of black students. “Revealing Africa through the African vision also has an effect. The continent produces culture, stories and mythology, which the Eurocentric perspective does not let us see”, says Oswaldo de Oliveira Santos Junior, researcher at the Human Rights Education Center at the Methodist University of São Paulo Paul.
Amidst the diversity of values and cultures to which we are inserted, it is necessary to rethink our actions in the face of disrespectful attitudes with the Afro-descendants that make up the majority of the Brazilian population being historically discriminated against and disrespected in their roots and manifestations.
Therefore, there is a need for constant work from the initial grades to high school, providing debates constant moments of reflection and appreciation of African culture, understanding its importance for dialogue and harmonious coexistence with the diversity.
3.1. MAIN GOAL
Lead students to reflect on ethnic-cultural diversity to understand that each people has its own identity, present in beliefs, customs, history and social organization.

Thus, promoting respect for differences of any gender to value human beings and the cultural identity of all peoples, so that, in this way, significant changes in social practice are perceived and the development of citizen awareness is carried out.
