O diálogo entre a educação ambiental crítico-transformadora e a capoeira Angola : a percepção da experiência no centro de pesquisa e prática nº Golo capoeira Angola, no Agreste de Pernambuco.

Abstract

Capoeira Angola emerges as a concrete possibility for resistance and fight against domination, which contributes to the current ecological ruin. With the objective of to comprehend the relationship between critical-transformative Environmental Education and Capoeira Angola, from the perspective of the practice of the N'Golo Capoeira Angola Research and Practice Center in Bezerros/PE; the research was conducted using a qualitative approach, with an ethnographic emphasis. Data collection took place at the N'Golo Capoeira Angola Research and Practice Center through bibliographic study, participant observation, documentary research, and interviews with key actors. Through qualitative analysis and interpretation of the data, considering the researcher's experience, it was possible to enhance the understanding of the human-nature relationship, which is increasingly profound. This includes recognizing and valuing traditional knowledge in the face of modern paradigms, as well as the ancestral heritage that, strengthened by cosmovisions, serves as a central foundation for resistance and a critical perspective aiming to transform this reality, utilizing diverse and synergistic tools. This realization led to the understanding that critical-transformative Environmental Education and Capoeira Angola, beyond their existing connections, can mutually reinforce each other when combined for their common objectives. In summary, this study has provided significant contributions to achieving the proposed objectives. However, it is important to emphasize the need for further exploration of this topic, acknowledging that learning is an ongoing process, as "Angola is far."
