📋 Tender Overview
Civic tourism activities may be considered as a complement to teaching hours in basic education. This is what PL 3,903/2020 determines, approved in a final decision by the Education Commission (CE) this Tuesday (17).
O turismo civico e um tipo de turismo cultural cujo principal interesse e conhecer a organizacao constitucional e politica do pais, estado ou municipio. Tourists visit government institutions, monuments and other places of historical and structural relevance to understand political construction and its facts and characters from the past and present.
The text amends the Education Guidelines and Bases Law (LDB - Law 9,394, of 1996) to propose that civic tourism activities, offered by an institution integrated into the schools pedagogical project, be considered part of the evaluation and complement of the workload for elementary, secondary and technical professional education at secondary level.
The project also amends the National Tourism Policy Law (Law 11,771, of 2008) to include as one of its objectives encouraging and disseminating civic tourism in conjunction with primary and secondary education systems and establishments.
The proposal, by senator Izalci Lucas (PL-DF), received a favorable opinion from the rapporteur, senator Professora Dorinha Seabra (Uniao-TO). If there is no appeal for voting in the Plenary, the text goes to the Chamber of Deputies.
For Izalci, contact with the values of the countrys political-democratic institutions in a learning strategy contributes to the citizenship training of young people, in addition to developing the consumption of products and services related to national culture.
Professor Dorinha highlights that, when visiting historical sites and public institutions, students have the opportunity to contextualize the content learned in the classroom, which strengthens their understanding of concepts of history, geography, culture and citizenship. Para a relatora, o turismo civico contribui para a formacao integral do estudante, em conformidade com os principios da Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC).
-- These experiences expand students cultural repertoire and encourage critical thinking, social engagement and political education. Furthermore, they reinforce the feeling of belonging and national identity, stimulating interest in politics, democracy and civic action -- argued the rapporteur in the opinion, which was read by Senator Astronauta Marcos Pontes (PL-SP).
