Caminhos e veredas na Agroecologia: um fio pelos aprendizados, memórias e ancestralidade

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to recount some of the memories and reflections I experienced during my Bachelor's degree in Agroecology and the unique aspects of its dynamics that set it apart from other degrees. I present pieces of my story that preceded my academic journey and are directly related to my choice of Agroecology, revealing the influences and experiences that shaped my interest in this area of study and practice. I'll report the experience of 'Embroidering for Care' group and the importance of using embroidery as an art-educational tool that transcends manual practice, promoting creative expression, affective care and reflection on social, environmental and political issues. I highlight the lessons learned about ethnic-racial relations, peasantry and popular education in a way that is linked to private, historical and community experiences, establishing a dialog between academic knowledge and the traditional knowledge that emerges from everyday experience.
