Vozes da água: proposta de estratégia didática de podcasts sobre as narrativas e vivências com a água em comunidades nordestinas

Abstract

In recent decades, traditional knowledge has been recognised as an essential resource for environmental and cultural education, bridging ancestral wisdom with contemporary pedagogical practices. This study introduces the podcast series “Vozes da Água” ("Voices of Water"), developed at IFPE Campus Caruaru in collaboration with the communities of Alto do Moura and Normandia. The project employs oral narratives as educational tools to integrate local perspectives with modern teaching approaches. Aimed at artisan communities and family farmers, the podcasts document and disseminate stories highlighting the importance of water in daily practices and beliefs. Active student involvement, from data collection to digital content production, fosters skills in research, communication, and technology use. In addition to preserving cultural memory, the project raises awareness of sustainability issues, demonstrating that incorporating traditional narratives into the school curriculum can enrich education and make it more relevant to local realities.
