Paudalho em flor: uma proposta de turismo na escola como incentivo ao sentimento de pertencimento à cidade.

Abstract

This final paper aims to present a proposal for activities in elementary schools education in Paudalho, using the Tourism at School methodology. When observing its great tourist potential, it is clear that the population of Paudalho needs to participate and learn more about the attractiveness that the city can offer, through cultural and leisure spaces, fostering a feeling of local belonging. With this perspective in mind, the Paudalho em Flor project emerged: knowing, valuing, belonging; designed to be developed together with elementary education II, in order to encourage the appreciation of local historical, cultural and natural assets, through heritage education and environmental education, in addition to the practice of pedagogical tourism. The work used qualitative research as a methodology at the school chosen as a pilot – Colegio Municipal de Guadalajara – where management and four teachers were interviewed. In this research, barriers were found to streamline classes, and from this, instruments were created to develop the project, assist teachers' pedagogical practices and make tourism an ally of education. In this way, it is expected that the project will contribute to the teaching-learning process through the tourist experience, strengthening the bond between resident and locality, fostered by youth as they go beyond the school walls to their families and surroundings.
