FRESTAS: Formation and resignification of educators, knowledge, exchanges, art and senses
Summary:
FRESTAS group has started its activities in 2014. Its original group comprised teachers who worked with Basic Education in Rio de Janeiro Public School Network and who joined the extension course focused on matters of Body and Arts, in the MEC/UNIRIO partnership.

Among its aims, one finds: investigating teachers’ education by taking into consideration the space of both art and corporeality in formative spaces, as well as in schools’ daily routine and practices. It also works with biographical/autobiographical perspectives that take into account individuals trajectories and narratives in the process to build their subjectivities.

Study and Research Group in Teacher Training, Discipline Matrix, Interculturality and Decolonial Pedagogies - GFPPD
Summary:
The dimensions we are faced with are associated with the theoretical-political agenda to rearrange arguments we have been working with, from the critical and post-critical education perspectives. Therefore, we broaden the analyses on other epistemic boundaries to go beyond the walls of the social institution designed to certify social subjects. The aims are to follow processes focused on building other learning environments and to produce studies along with researchers who work in basic education, as well as with undergraduate students. This group is a locus for collaboration and expansion of education meanings focused on incorporating knowledge deriving from teaching practices and, consequently, on acknowledging other pedagogies and perceptions about knowledge to be taught at schools and universities.
Research lines:
1. Cultural studies, social movements, youth and counter-narratives in Education

Study and Research Group on Youth, School, Labor and Territory (JETT)
Summary:
Based on databases comprising defined sets of the population of young individuals living in the country, this group focuses on investigating changes resulting from processes that, within their limits and contradictions, enabled these individuals to join institutions and processes that were previously restricted to a small number of young Brazilian citizens. It also investigates ruptures imposed on this process in recent years. Studies conducted by it aim at investigating the relative role played by schools (in their partnership with other youth socialization institutions) in these individuals’ transitional processes up to adulthood. In order to do so, this group operates by building and implementing databases to subsidize research conducted by it by building analytical maps of public policies, mainly of those focused on both youth and its study and work conditions; as well as by building interview banks to enable young individuals to talk about problems of their time.
Research lines:
1.Socio-spatial inequalities and juvenile socialization processes
2.School transitions
3.School-work relationship
