SACAVINO, Susana. Pedagogy of the Memory and Educating for the "Never More" in Order to Build Democracy. Folios [online]. 2015, n.41, pp.69-85. ISSN 0123-4870.

The education in human rights is an important mediation for affirming and building democracy. In Brazil, the year of 2014 is the 50th anniversary of the civil-military putsch which had started a long period of dictatorship that lasted more than two decades, with systematic practices of human rights violations by part of the State. Into this framework it is very important to develop a pedagogy of memory to educate for the "never more" in the sense of qualifying and improving the democracy. From the focus on (dis)celebrating the 50th anniversary of the civil-military dictatorship, this article is structured into three parts. The first one presents the origin of the expression "never more", its incorporation by the human rights education, and its relationship with the memory. It also deepens into the different senses of the memory and its contributions and articulations to the education for "never more". Finally it argues why to educate for the "never more". The second part presents three pedagogical proposals from the vision of the (dis)celebrating of the 50 years of the civil-military dictatorship for educating for the "never more": one general character proposal, another guided to the teacher training, and the third one for the teacher to work with their students in class. Finally, some considerations are made about the subject of the work of memory/ies and the education for the "never more".

Keywords : Human rights education; memory and human rights; training for democracy; teacher training; education for the never more.
