Unity in diversity: between utopias and concretion in research from popular education

Abstract

This study addresses the theme of social isolation resulting from the Coronavirus pandemic (COVID19) from an intervention carried out by master students in education with male and female students in a technical course class in human resources and administration of a vocational school located in Limeira/SP. With a view to provoking reflections and generating subsidies for new discussions about the epochal moment that involves everyone, the intervention started with an invitation to students to build and share messages of solidarity, peace and good practices among themselves within a social coexistence in a pandemic scenario of insecurities and uncertainties. The study was developed based on a theoretical framework and on the contributions of Popular Education and its conclusion occurred with the disclosure of the constructions made through audiovisual resources and through this article report. We intend that, among the positive impacts produced by this study, we find the inspiration for the implementation of actions in favor of a culture of peace and solidarity and of transformation, alterity and empathy as well as indignation in face of inequalities that imposes a lesser or greater degree suffering to some people at the expense.
