Abstract

The idea of a citizen school evidenced in the 1990s, as an expression of an educational innovation movement in Brazil that includes the themes: school autonomy, integration of education with culture and work, supply and demand, school and community, vision interdisciplinary and the permanent formation of teachers. The Citizen School defends permanent education and has its own formatting for each local reality, in order to respect the historical-cultural characteristics, the rhythms and specific conjunctures of each community, without losing sight of the global dimension of the world in which we live. To this end, its political-pedagogical project is prepared based on the realization of a diagnosis of the school reality called ethnography of the school, which enables the construction of a school curriculum based on the creation of intercultural spaces, in turn worked from the inter and transdisciplinary perspective that take into account the dimension of reason and emotion, therefore, technique, sensitivity and creativity. In this sense, the citizen school is democratically organized and pedagogically cheerful, creative and bold.
