ABRSTRACT

Research developed in the Postgraduate Program in Education at the Federal University of Bahia (PPGE/UFBA), Education, Body Culture and Leisure Line, within the scope of the History of Education, Body Culture, Leisure, Environment and Society Research Group (HCEL /UFBA/CNPq). In the search to understand educational intentions, the objective was to reflect on the educational processes involved in the elaboration and implementation of an curricular project in a public high school, in the cluster of neighborhoods in the Northeast of Amaralina, Salvador, Bahia. Specifically: (1) understand how the school composed the FLIPA project during the COVID-19 pandemic period and (2) reflect on the conceptions of the body and local culture addressed in the project (elaboration and execution). Historical research of the present time, with a qualitative approach, using references, documents and narratives resulting from interviews and observation. The field of education and interdisciplinarity was privileged in dialogue with geography, from a multi-referential perspective. The results highlighted understandings of the body and local culture and the appreciation of loving and sensitive teaching in educational processes. A teaching where sensitivity is opposed to insensitivity. The Body (physical and psychic) that inhabits the geoid in which we live (planet Earth) is a single body. The world is experienced in the school space in full. We understand the FlIPA project as necessary due to the connections between curricular knowledge and the school context, bodies and cultures, in an interdisciplinary perspective. We consider it essential to provide opportunities for relationships between what is constructed and the terrigenous condition that is corporeal. In geography, this understanding is relevant because it has GEO (earth) as its focal point.
