Abstract:
This article reports a study, which explores confluences between health, interculturality and Sciences teacher training. The research deals with the contributions of interculturality to health, considering a holistic perspective of physical, mental and social wellness. The research seeks to analyze the impacts of dialogical dynamics and intercultural pedagogical practices in the assumptions that graduates and teachers of elementary school elaborate about health and intercultural education. A participatory methodology was used in order to plan, experiment and evaluate these practices at some schools in Greater Rio. At the moment, the project drafts some important critical reflections on emancipatory teaching, interculturality and health which go beyond the restricted scales of specific school spheres.
