Um estudo da imigração brasileira em Portugal e o engajamento do professor de geografia na orientação e análise do fenômeno

Abstract

This study investigates the immigration of Brazilians to Portugal, with a geographical perspective to understand the socio-economic aspects of this dynamic. Furthermore, it explores the Geography teacher's viewpoint as a key agent in the analysis of these population movements. Through a socio-economic survey with Brazilian immigrants in Portugal, we highlight the challenges they face, the motivations for immigration, and their perception of government support. The immigration of Brazilians to Portugal is influenced by socio-economic and cultural factors. Geography education enhances this understanding by connecting migratory motivations and facilitating students' comprehension of the immigrant world. We also aim to comprehend individual motivations, emphasizing socio-economic and cultural factors, while addressing integration challenges, especially in the labor sphere. The results underscore the challenges faced, such as cultural adaptation and difficulties in the job market, in addition to the motivations for immigration and perceptions of government support. Thus, it is necessary to combine the perspective of immigrants to contribute to knowledge-building in Geography classes. With this study, we can emphasize the importance of understanding the socio-economic implications of immigration and its contribution to the academic landscape and the education of future educators.
