Abstract

The violation of Human Rights in Brazil persists despite the constitutional recognition of human dignity and Human Rights. Education is an important way to form persons under law capable of looking at this reality and acting on its transformation. Brazil has plans and guidelines that guide the development of Human Rights Education at all levels and educational modalities. This type of education presupposes methodological paths capable of promoting reflection and problematizing reality. The Covid-19 pandemic that affected and still affects the entire planet during the year 2020 confronts us daily with the need to guarantee the people’s human rights on account of their dignity. This chapter aims to reflect on the possibilities of teaching and learning by problematizing the context of the pandemic in the classroom.
