VENEU, Fernanda; ROSSE, Cássio  and  COSTA, Marco. Sociopolitical action and cooperative learning: creation of a banner with students from elementary education in the municipality of Miguel Pereira, Rio de Janeiro. Invest. Práticas [online]. 2017, vol.7, n.2, pp.22-33. ISSN 2182-1372.

We describe here the creation process of a banner with a group of 8th grade of an elementary school in the city of Miguel Pereira (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil). The proposed theme was “Breastfeeding in the nineteenth century”. In the process of preparation of the material to be exposed, teachers used cooperative learning techniques (group investigation), with the aim of encouraging the active participation of students, thus developing skills and values such as cooperation, positive interdependence and responsibility. The activity was carried out under the European project Irresistible, designed to raise teachers’ and students’ awareness on responsible research and innovation (RRI). The students exhibited the banner at the school, explaining its content to the others and answering the questions raised under the scope of the World Breastfeeding Week, and they watched a video about Brazilian pro-breastfeeding laws. The activity was undertaken on August 4^th 2016 to match the World Breastfeeding Week calendar (August, 1^st to 7^th).

Keywords : cooperative learning; exposition; active participation of the youths.
