Ações educativas e linguagem digital : experiências no e do Centro de Memória Regional do Judiciário da Universidade de Caxias do Sul

Abstract

The Center for Regional Judicial Memory (CMRJU) is a permanent archive, which maintains and preserves legal proceedings relating to civil and criminal actions in the Caxias do Sul and Region, from 1882 to 2003. The objective of this work is to investigate and analyze the CMRJU collection as a space to develop educational actions, in order to sensitize students, teachers and the community about the importance of preserving the documentary heritage of the Judiciary, promoting reflections on justice, citizenship and preservation of memory. In this sense, some actions are carried out with students of the University of Caxias do Sul, guardian of this collection, in addition to the mediated visits with classes of high school and fundamental of the public and private networks. It is intended to further qualify these activities, for which, research was conducted in some archives and museums, in their physical and virtual spaces, looking for information that could contribute to the work. The analysis obtained from these sites indicated a potential path to work with proposals for educational actions, directed to Heritage Education in archives, especially those who keep court documents. These processes that served Justice, are now promising sources for local and regional historiography. Understanding the space of the CMRJU as a non-formal teaching location, the proposal is to use it in order to complement the teaching of history outside the classroom. For this, four actions were developed to be carried out in the space of the CMRJU, because it is believed that the experiences acquired in archives help in the construction of knowledge. To attract the target audience, we opted for the creation of a blog that is a fast and efficient tool to publicize the educational actions carried out and to disseminate the collection of the Judiciary.
