Movement for Humanizing Education
Humanized Education Week 09/21/2020 to 09/25/2020
The Ruth Salles Institute, together with 10 other organizations and volunteers, who work in the field of education, co-created the Movement for Humanizing Education, with the aim of holding debates and proposing public actions and policies that make basic education in Brazil more humanized. , integral and emancipatory.
Our first achievement was to prepare a proposal for continuing education for public school teachers and forward it to the São Paulo Municipal Department of Education. Based on this initiative, we decided to structure a movement that would give visibility to this fundamental theme for the future of our society.
We then created a Manifest, which summarizes our principles and objectives, and we are publishing it at this time. It is our mission to promote the development of human beings capable of building a society founded on a culture of peace, cultural freedom, economic fraternity, equal rights and opportunities, respect for all differences and environmental sustainability.
In July 2020, we managed to approve Law Nº 17.408/2020, in partnership with the president of the Municipal Commission for Education, Culture and Sports, Councilman Eliseu Gabriel, creating in the official calendar of São Paulo the “Week of Humanized Education”, to be held annually in the week of early spring.
If you also believe that every child has the right to be loved and welcomed by the society to which they belong, to be respected and valued as an individual, and to be able to grow in contact with nature, join us in this movement!
