Inclusão social dos moradores da Comunidade Santa Clara: uma ação no ciberespaço

Abstract

This research developed in the Masters Program in Information Science at the Universidade Federal da Paraíba (UFPB), by the Comunidade Santa Clara (CSC) in the city João Pessoa, Paraíba. The aim was directed to include the residents of this community in the information society through the virtual inclusion. The intervention occurred through field research for registration, organization and dissemination of “information sources”, constituted by people from the CSC. It produced a website “Blog da Comunidade Santa Clara” where it deposited, to free access in the internet, the “knowledge treasure” of people who form the social memory and knowledge of CSC. The action of information developed in the community aimed to promote the exercise of citizenship and recognition of the inhabitants of their social identity and their reality, and facilitate the production of new knowledge by other social actors. When they are inserted in the virtual world, the residents can come to be recognized by civil society and transform its “knowledge treasure” into benefits for the CSC.
