Abstract

This paper aims to present decolonial and anti-racist curriculum proposals experienced in a project named “Brincadas” from São Paulo, Brazil. Taking into account the vulnerabilities aggravated and/or resulting from climate or environmental emergencies, “Brincadas” aspires to overcome inequalities, especially, racial injustice and oppression. Also, it presupposes a cosmovision of community roots that break with anthropocentric, capitalist, and colonial logic modus vivendi. The enterprise project is developed within a critical collaborative context where participants’ agencies are mobilized to play with possibilities yet to be created. In this presentation, we will discuss and analyze examples of how “Brincadas” has created educational activities based on "play" to set up decolonial and anti-racist curriculum propositions.
