EDUCAÇÃO PATRIMONIAL APLICADA NAS COMUNIDADES DO ENTORNO DO SISTEMA ADUTOR SERIDÓ- PARELHAS/CARNAÚBA DOS DANTAS-RN-BRASIL

Abstract

This written report deals with the elaboration and applicability of a Public Archeology Program associated to Patrimonial Education actions in the communities that are in the surroundings of the Seridó Parelhas / Carnaúba dos Dantas RN adductor system. The Seridó Area has high archaeological potential, although the region is the second in the Northeast in terms of the number of sites with paintings and rock engravings, the category of National Park of permanent preservation has not yet been elevated. Thus, the Applied Project intends to recognize the belonging of the local community in relation to that Patrimony, since its valorization is one of the guarantees of safeguard of the sites. The activities were carried out in Elementary and Middle schools of the respective localities, as well as in the Quilombola Community of Boa Vista dos Negros, having as a guiding thread the valuation and identification of the students with the local patrimony. It was possible to verify that the sense of belonging and appreciation of the local patrimony was emphasized in the students, professors and members of the communities, through lectures, workshops and exhibition of archaeological artifacts, where an interaction was verified between the target public and the multidisciplinary team. The result of Patrimonial Education was obtained through its continuity, permeated by an exchange of knowledge between the spectators and their relatives, in order to become guardians in the protection of the local cultural patrimony.
