Abstract

This study analyzes the interdisciplinary action in the school as a way for intervene in questions related to domestic violence. It aims the understanding of what the school environment represents as a space where it is also possible comprehend this phenomenon of domestic and sexual violence against children and teenagers, emphasizing this phenomenon as a public issue. This research is based in a qualitative approach. The method privileged the dialogue and the participating observation. This research has taken 16 months long of working in a school community that concentrates around an elementary public school from the city of Maceió. It aims to contribute to the scholar curriculum. It proposes going beyond the border of the traditional curriculum, pedagogical principles and epistemology. The interdisciplinary approach we propose can possibly correct some mistakes committed by a divided science, that is the product of a capitalist society. We believe that the interdisciplinary action in the school environment makes possible listening to children, once they are encouraged to speak. Thus it will be possible recognize their pain and stimulate them to say no to situations of violence, in a process of recognizing their rights and rebuilding their self-esteem. This will only be possible if the distance between educators and students get shorten through pedagogical activities that motivate the construction of more spontaneous expressions of the students thoughts and feelings free of typical/pattern models. We intend to contribute to a current problem that affect millions of children and teenagers all around the world, studying a very specific space in the state of Alagoas, trying to catch complex elements from the social, economic and political contexts that are responsible for the silence on this question.
