Abstract

The objective of this work is to report on the pedagogical experiences conducted by undergraduate students of semipresencial courses; from 2014 to 2016; in the context of projects of teaching iniciation and of universitarian extension in public schools andNova Friburgo distance education center located in the mountain region of the state of Rio de Janeiro; Brazil.
These pedagogical experiences - the “Mostra de Artes” event; papier maché workshops and activities on occupied schools - related the teaching of science; art and citizenship in a decision-making process that was decentralized; horizontally organized; in which the speech and wishes of the students and the community were always considered. We argue that educating for citizenship is to guarantee the participation and action of individuals in collective spaces in a critical and autonomous way.
The art was placed as a dialogical channel that enabled the expression of thoughts; knowledge and feelings whitch are part of the collective construction of being a citizen. In this point of view; art is fundamental for the re-signification and retaking of the role of each citizen in the collective; having as principle the dialogue and the key notion of knowledge-emancipation. Based on the results obtained; it can be said that it is making decisions in a collective that builds citizenship; and art has shown to be an important catalyst for this process.
