Education, Citizenship and Human Rights

• ApresentaçãoPresentation

  The present Curricular Unit - ‘Education, Citizenship and Rights’ - is presented as an integrative and transversal area/domain of knowledge, centred on human development and, therefore, on Education for Peace and Human Rights, Education for Sustainable Development, Intercultural Education and Personal and Social Development. In this sense, it reinforces the importance of Education for Global Citizenship, highlighting the rights of children and young people and the promotion of their active citizenship in educational and social contexts. It emphasises the mobilisation of students' knowledge and learning for the wider contexts of which they are a part, namely the surrounding community and the development of personal and social skills focused on “knowing how to be and be with” others and the world.

• MetodologiaMethodology

  Active and participatory methodologies will be favoured, based on the involvement and motivation of the students, centred on their interests and needs and in a healthy and democratic environment - values and strategies that we want the students to mobilise for early childhood contexts. It is proposed to build interdisciplinary and collaborative group projects, create and explore educational games, watch videos, analyse texts, images, news and current issues, in order to encourage the involvement and active participation of students in their development and learning process. Collaborative strategies will be promoted, based on dialogue, empathy, solidarity, mutual help and respect. Pedagogical differentiation will be taken into account in order to adjust the didactic-pedagogical strategies used to the needs of the students.
