Social educators perceptions about the pastoral of the minor school of citizenship

This article analyzes the contributions of the Citizenship School, linked to the Nacional Pastoral of the Minor, in promoting the ethical role and commitment of adolescents in the construction and defense of human rights. Interview procedures and conversation circles made up of eight social educators from Pastoral of the Minor are used as research procedures. Content analysis was intertwined with institutional documents and the theoretical bases were learned in Freire and Horton, among others. At the end of the research, we were able to conclude that the Citizenship School project tends to provide an environment of citizen education and democratic experience, generating actions and transformations in social, cultural and educational territories. It should be noted that the basis of the project is anchored on pedagogy and theology of liberation, which seeks to build a new, participative and free subject, a society that is more humane and just whichcomes from the culture of peace and law.
