De filhas e filhos da mãe e filhas e filhos do estado : a educação social no contexto do acolhimento

Abstract

The theme of this research is the Institutional Sheltering, seen from the perception of the participants of this study, considering the pedagogical processes that take place in the dynamics of the relationship established within the Institution. The study is based on a qualitative research of phenomenological nature according to Merleau-Ponty in dialogue with theoretical assumptions of Popular Education in Freire and Social Education, according to Pedrinho

Guareschi. From bibliographic and documentary study, and also comprehensive semi- structured interviews, based on Zago. Merleau-Ponty and Paulo Freire as methodological and

interpretative centralities. It is understood from the perception of four (04) young graduates of the Institutional Sheltering Program, at 18 years of age how, and if, the service offered by the Institutional Sheltering Service for Children and Adolescents-SAICA “Nosso Lar” provides the conditions necessary to guarantee children's and youth's rights considering the length of stay in the service with the purpose of building autonomy. The locus for mapping the young people participating in the research is the SAICA “Nosso Lar”, an institution located in the city of Sorriso/MT. The young people's responses bring to light a set of fragile dimensions that need to be faced, unveiled and reconstructed: (in) understanding of the Public Sheltering Policy by political agents; limits for individual-collective construction of autonomy in view of the rate of rotation and difficulty of some caregivers who have a different understanding of the educational process; limits in the alignment of strategic actions in conjunction with other social policies; rules that no longer account for reality; lack of communication between peers; fragmented pedagogical process; strengthening/expansion of educational mediations with families in interface with the people from “Nossa Lar”; expansion of training for work that should favor a group formed by political agents, technical professionals, caregivers and other professionals.
