FLAMENGO PARTICIPATES IN THE 1st MUSEUM EDUCATION MEETING

Between the 6th and 8th of July, the Flamengo Museum Education Department, part of the club's Vice-Presidency for Historical Heritage, participated in the 1st Museum Education Meeting, in Cachoeira, Bahia. The event was held by IBRAM (Brazilian Institute of Museums) at the Federal University of Recôncavo da Bahia (UFRB).

Flamengo was present at the event with educators Guilherme Andrade and Monalysa Sarmento, who shared the experiences that have been held since 2019 with school visitors, athletes, projects, among others. The presence of the team strengthens the pedagogical work carried out in Gávea, as Guilherme Andrade points out:

"The participation of the Educativo Museu Flamengo in EMUSE is essential to see the direction in which the work has been conducted. Today we can say that Flamengo contributes to the field of Museum Education and its headquarters is a cultural apparatus of the city of Rio de Janeiro", he says.

The Trilha do Urubu visitor program has already received more than 10,000 people until 2022 and its main mission is to communicate the history of the club, always contextualizing it with the transformations of the country and the city and using sport as a pedagogical tool. The objective is to expand the dialogue with society, to promote the practice of sports and the use of cultural devices.

The meeting had several references from the field, such as the president of IBRAM, Fernanda Castro. The leader defined as "very interesting" the work carried out by the Educativo team and the preservation of the memory of a Sports Club. According to Fernanda, this encourages others to follow the same path, given the immersion that sport has in society in an organic way.

In the spotlight, she says:

“The I Emuse marked the resumption of dialogue between IBRAM and society in a face-to-face forum that promoted meetings, exchanges and important reflections on public policies of museum education and social museology. We left with important referrals for strengthening the sector, with a commitment to shared management, aimed at increasing the promotion and maintenance of museums and Memory Spots, as well as training actions and the appreciation of professionals", he says.

In addition to the president, the event also had the participation of the secretary of the Culture Committees of the Ministry of Culture (Minc), Roberta Martins, the head of the Technical Office of the National Historical and Artistic Heritage Institute (IPHAN), João Gustavo, among other representations of the public sphere.

The I EMUSE received museums and memory institutions from all over Brazil and articulated tables, courses, presentations of works and debates on the PNEM (National Policy for Museum Education). According to Monalysa Sarmento, "our presence at this event enabled us to stay up-to-date on debates about museum education, such as training and professionalization in the area. In addition, we were able to meet education professionals from other museums across the country, we publicized our work and we understand that we are on the right path".
