Only by daring can we claim our right to look: sharing an experience of “making you feel and think”

Abstract

The article presented here is the result of activities that support the tripod of academic activity in public higher education institutions, that is; Teaching, Extension and Research. Our theoretical-methodological guidelines are based on the principles of Cartography, which is characterized by the commitment to the subjectivities present in the production of knowledge related to research in Human and Social Sciences and, therefore, assumes the impossibility of presenting answers/truths to your questions, but yes, problematizations to reflect on the studied phenomena. In this sense, Cartography seeks to accompany processes based on the foundations of intervention-research, engendering researchers and researched people in a dialogical relationship that produces new meanings and actions in the research contexts. With regard to this report, we divided our narrative into three parts so that the understanding would be clearer. We started the text with some of our conceptions regarding school education. In the second moment, we tried to present some theoretical foundations that supported the actions developed by our project in a public elementary school of the first segment and, finally, we presented a non-linear account of the events, as they were experienced throughout the project. Our intention with this text is to share a unique experience that can be formative for other teachers in the sense of making them think.
