RESUMO
As sociedades contemporâneas são marcadas pela diversidade, pela heterogeneidade e complexidade das relações. Atravessadas pela intensidade dos fluxos migratórios, as instituições educativas, enquanto espaços democráticos para o exercício da cidadania, devem atender à multiplicidade de origens geográficas dos seus estudantes e às diferenças sociais, culturais e étnicas que os caraterizam. Assim, a presente pesquisa, enquadrada no domínio da Educação Social, foi realizada no Instituto Federal de Brasília (IFB), considerando os desafios que se colocam às instituições educativas com a chegada de alunos imigrantes e refugiados, cuja integração educacional e social é preciso promover. A pesquisa realizada corresponde a um estudo exploratório, com recurso às metodologias qualitativas através da técnica de entrevistas. Foram entrevistados alunos matriculados em diferentes cursos do IFB, oriundos de diversos países como Nigéria, Peru, Guiné Bissau, Venezuela e Paraguai. Além das entrevistas com os alunos, foram realizadas entrevistas com representantes de instituições públicas e da sociedade civil que já desenvolvem trabalho na integração de imigrantes e refugiados. A partir da análise da informação levantada, identificámos áreas-problema significativas, passíveis de intervenção por parte do Educador Social, nomeadamente no que respeita à aprendizagem da língua e da cultura do país de acolhimento. Esta questão é percebida pelos alunos imigrantes e refugiados entrevistados como de total importância na sua inclusão social e profissional, para a promoção da igualdade de oportunidades e contribuindo para o pleno exercício de cidadania.
ABSTRACT
Contemporary societies are marked by diversity, the heterogeneity and complexity of relationships. Crossed by the intensity of migratory flows, educational institutions, as democratic spaces for the exercise of citizenship, must attend to the multiplicity of geographical origins of their students and to the social, cultural and ethnic differences that characterize them. Thus, the present research in the field of Social Education was carried out at the Federal Institute of Brasília (IFB), considering the challenges faced by educational institutions with the arrival of immigrant and refugee students whose educational and social integration must be promoted. The research corresponds to an exploratory study, using qualitative methodologies through interviews technique. We interviewed students enrolled in IFB courses from different countries such as Nigeria, Peru, Guinea Bissau, Venezuela and Paraguay. In addition to interviews with students, interviews were conducted with representatives of public institutions and of the civil society who are already working on the integration of immigrants and refugees. Based on the analysis of the information collected, we identified significant problem areas that could be addressed by the Social Educator, particularly in relation to learning the language and culture of the host country. This issue is perceived by the immigrant and refugee students interviewed as of utmost importance in their social and professional inclusion, in order to promote equal opportunities and contribute to the full exercise of citizenship.
