Abstract
The construction of conditions for the establishment of relationships between different knowledge is one of the pillars of the ideal of Education for Rural Areas. The work discusses how this panorama was expressed in the experience of the degree course of Education for Rural Areas from the Federal University of Jequitinhonha and Mucuri Valleys. The result of a case study, built from a cross-sectional approach, of a descriptive nature, with qualitative data treatment, is presented. The focus is directed to the discussion around four dynamics present in the course: Community Time Meeting, Cultural Night, Mystics and Projects coordinated by teachers. From the presentation of these experiences, reflections are outlined structured in three argumentative axes: the place of science in the relations between knowledge; the relationships between knowledge as encounters of ways of life; the counterpoint between “contextualization” and “perspective” in the relations between knowledge. Concluding that the relations between social groups define conditions for the establishment of relations between knowledge, the results of the work point out the imperative to collaborate with the creation of a new knowledge economy more just and appropriate for rural populations.
