Detalhes bibliográficos
Resumo:Ethnic diversity has increased over time. A stimulating factor was the founding of the European Union, which facilitated the movement between the various countries belonging to it. With a drastic increase in migration in recent years, due to factors such as political conflicts, talk of diversity, multiculturalism and integration policies becomes increasingly important. This paper discusses the impact that issues around socio-economic diversity, gender and ethnicity have on children in a socio-educational context. It reflects on the importance of creating inclusive educational environments in their different aspects and with different actors, children, professionals, and families. It assumes a qualitative methodology, which intends to access the authors' conceptions through heuristic and hermeneutic processes. The research process followed the following steps: (i) research and systematization of literature, collected from databases; (ii) organization of the papers by dimension; (iii) collection of relevant ideas about educational environments that promote respect, diversity, multiculturalism, and gender inclusion; and (iv) integration of the different conceptions. Through the literature, practical examples of how the space should be organized are revealed, highlighting for example materials to be included, the role of educators and teachers, and the organization of time. The finding shows the importance of reconsidering the educational environment, family support and the multidisciplinary approaches to gender, ethnicity, and people on poverty inclusion.
