Os contributos do Plano Nacional das Artes para repensar a relação entre Educação, Práticas Artísticas e Inclusão

Abstract

This case study sought to understand the reasons behind the decision to extend the projects of the National Arts Plan to students in Adult Education and Training courses and Portuguese as a Host Language courses. The study focused on students in Adult Education and Training and Portuguese as a Host Language courses in a school cluster. Through participant observation and focus group interviews, evidence was collected on students' perceptions regarding their return to school, the contributions of artistic practices to pedagogical approaches, and the development of spaces for interaction between portuguese and foreign students. The results indicate that artistic practices function as cultural and social mediators, promoting the development of interpersonal relationships, communication, and inclusion.
