Institutional violence as a transversal problem:

a proposal for its approach within the classroom

Abstract

The article describes the experience of the project “Humanities Youth for Human Rights”, presented in 2020 to the Ministry of Equality, Gender and Diversity of the Province of Santa Fe (Argentina). It addresses the social issue of institutional violence, which has become an emerging school issue for those who work as teachers in the neighborhoods of the city of Rosario. The topic is approached from a historical, contextualized, intersectional and situated perspective. The uniqueness of the project lies in the elaboration of audiovisual pedagogical material, which describes the participation and reflection of great referents of Human Rights in our country. At the same time, it is complemented with activities proposed to develop and work within the classroom, especially in the Basic Orientation Cycle. The objective of the project is to provide teachers and educational institutions with a set of tools to address the specific problem of institutional violence related to Human Rights.
