Recreating Cidadania

a story of Extensão that unites Direito, Cinema and Educação

Abstract

The "Law, Cinema and Citizenship in Schools" project adopts a playful approach to stimulate ethical and legal reflections among law students, teachers and high school students. Through the fusion of cinema, debates and round tables, the project aims to promote critical thinking, empathy and social understanding. Using planned stages, film screenings and interactions with teachers, the project involves high schools in debates on contemporary themes, such as ethics, justice and equality. This allows you to explore these themes in a unique way, enriching the educational experience. The impacts of the action are reflected in the formation of conscious and engaged citizens, with critical reflections on diversity, gender and ethnic-racial relations. Teachers improve their pedagogical approaches, benefiting the educational environment with more reflection and inclusion. Furthermore, the project strengthens the training of law students by applying theory to real situations, highlighting the importance of a critical and socially responsible approach. This prepares them for more conscious and inclusive actions. In short, the project reinforces the importance of reflective and engaged education, aligned with UN sustainable development goals, promoting awareness and positive change. The intersection between art, education and law demonstrates significant educational potential, enriching both students and the benefiting community.
