From December 4th to 6th, the event “Diversity, education and interculturality: specific degree course for training indigenous teachers at higher education in Rio Grande do Norte” will be held in Natal. This event is promoted by the Department of Anthropology and the Postgraduate Program in Social Anthropology at UFRN, in partnership with the Coordination of Indigenous School Education and the Directorate of Rural, Indigenous and Ethnic-Racial Relations Education Policies of the Secretariat of Continuing Education, Literacy, Diversity and Inclusion/SECADI/MEC.
The objective of the event is to dialogue with the indigenous peoples of RN about their training demands and, therefore, to develop a project for a training course for indigenous teachers in intercultural degrees, following all the guidelines of PROLIND – Support Program for Higher Education and Indigenous Degrees.
The planned activities will be an important step towards the development of a degree at UFRN aimed at training indigenous teachers who work and who will work in schools located in villages and indigenous communities throughout RN.
The opening of the event will take place on the 4th at 2 pm in the Multimedia Room of the UFRN Education Center. On subsequent days, activities will be held at the Hotel Praia Mar (Sala Jatobá) in Ponta Negra.
