Os círculos de construção de paz e as competências socioemocionais como estratégia de acolhimento às famílias das crianças com diagnóstico de deficiência

Abstract

This work reports the experiences of mothers of students diagnosed with disabilities at the Ferreira de Souza School, located in the municipality of Fortaleza – Ceará/ Brazil. Its objectives are to present the activities offered to mothers of these children to provide them with meaningful action, with the end of helping them in the process of overcoming challenges to those who face each other on a daily basis, making progress in the following areas: self-confidence, commitment , personalization and well-being; present socio-emotional skills (openness to the new, cooperation, friendliness, initiative, persistence, concentration and resilience); expand listening to families, understanding socio-emotional issues; talk about the participation of families in the educational process of children. For my work, I use the Peace Construction Circles as a methodology, one of the tools of Restorative Justice, which is guided by universal values such as participation, dialogue, equality, social justice and respect for diversity, that is decide, shelter spaces so that everyone can learn from others; as well as Socioemotional Competencies as a way of fostering the protection of these people. By working with Peace Construction Circles and Socioemotional Competences as coping strategies for families of children diagnosed with disabilities, an inclusive and supportive environment is created in which all children and their families feel valued, respected and respected supported by its educational tray. These practices alone promote individual well-being, which also contributes to building a more just, equitable and inclusive society. The results proposed in the use of these Circles were relevant to the consolidation of my work and investigation, which shared experiences and reflected on the possibilities of inclusion in the midst of the architectural, acting and structural barriers mentioned by the participating mothers allowed me to review my personal and academic life trajectory, thus favoring a journey through my life story.
