Um breve estudo do programa que envolve criança, família e escola: ateliê da Educação Infantil

Abstract

This academic work aims to present and analyze the Ateliê Program, an innovative project that seeks to unite the school, the family, and the child as agents of social transformation. Inspired by the ideas of renowned Brazilian educator Paulo Freire, the program aims to bring education to underprivileged families with the purpose of changing their social reality. Initially, the study addresses the unfavorable socioeconomic context in which many underprivileged families are immersed, highlighting the barriers and challenges they face in accessing quality education. The fundamental principles and concepts of Freirean pedagogy are then presented, emphasizing the importance of awareness, active participation of individuals involved in the educational process, and the valuing of students' prior knowledge. Next, the Ateliê Program is described, presenting its main characteristics and implementation strategies. The program consists of an educational approach that involves the school community and the family, seeking to establish a partnership between these two actors to promote comprehensive education for children. Ateliê offers educational workshops, lectures, pedagogical guidance, and psychosocial support to families, in addition to promoting awareness-raising activities on rights and citizenship. The paper also discusses the results and impacts of the Ateliê Program on the reality of underprivileged families. Through experiences and case studies, it is observed that the program has contributed to strengthening the ties between school and family, improving children's academic performance, and increasing family participation in educational activities. Moreover, Ateliê has fostered greater engagement from families in seeking better living conditions and transforming their social reality. Finally, some considerations are presented regarding the challenges and future prospects of the Ateliê Program.
