REFLEXÕES DE PROJETO EXTENSIONISTA:

A TRAJETÓRIA NEGRA CONTADA E CANTADA POR MEIO DO SAMBA

Abstract

Law 10,639, sanctioned in 2003, provided a kind of stimulus for the accomplishment of projects and works that contemplate an educational character directed to the innumerable manifestations and expressions of the diverse Brazilian culture. Thus, through a dialogical relationship between the University and a state school of Divinópolis (MG), this project aimed, in the formation of high school graduates, to rescue the importance of black culture and the acceptance of diversity in Brazilian society. For this, we used as a method the literature review on the theme in question and the holding of meetings and workshops about samba and its historical-social context, seeking to elucidate the respective inheritances of slavery. From the discussions on the subject, it was possible to observe that a large part of the students was sensitized on subjects that include prejudice, violence and racism still so prevalent in society. Moreover, it was clear that such debates and discussions can assist and collaborate in a reaffirmation of the students' attitude regarding black culture. It is concluded that the extension project collaborated so that high school graduates could constitute a different social perception of African descent and, at the same time, helped to rethink such expensive topics as the acceptance of the other and their respective differences.
