The actions of an NGO in proposing contextualized education towards coexistence with the semi-arid region

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to discuss the actions of a non-governmental organization in proposing contextualized education towards coexistence with the semiarid region, taking into consideration its outcome when contributing to formal education and professional development in the community of Massaroca, in Juazeiro-BA. We start from the understanding that education in perspective will allow individuals to be re-signified in spaces in which they live and an expansion of flavors that they already dominate in their daily lives, while conditions are necessary for the construction of citizenship.
