Arte na Educomunicação, como potencialidade de jovens em espaços de educação

Abstract

The closure of educational institutions as a measure to contain the Covid-19 pandemic had a significant impact on the lives of millions of children and adolescents, generating a set of challenges that deeply affected their well-being and quality of life. This context brought with it feelings of fear, uncertainty, and anxiety, among other emotional and psychological aspects that deserve attention. Faced with these profound changes in the global educational landscape, some educators were able to explore educommunicative practices as an essential tool in the context of remote or hybrid teaching. This research aims to investigate at the intersection of communication, education, and art how the use of audiovisual materials can contribute to the potential of young people in both formal and non-formal educational spaces. To do so, as part of the methodological process, we conducted a brief review of the state of the art in the Proceedings of Scientific Congresses, as well as semi-structured interviews. These interviews were carried out with young individuals who participated in the Experiment Workshop, an initiative that emerged in response to the interruption of in-person classes due to the pandemic. Considering the profound impacts of the pandemic on education, this research adopts an interdisciplinary approach, drawing inspiration from participatory research and incorporating a feminist research perspective. We believe that the results of this study can contribute to the accumulated knowledge about educommunication, art education, and youth. We also assess that this work can significantly strengthen the formation and exercise of active citizenship for adolescents, as well as promote an emancipatory education for all individuals. Through the theoretical framework and writing of this dissertation, we also seek, in a special way, to highlight the role of women in science.
