Projeto de capacitação de conselheiros de direitos: uma análise dos seus impactos nos conselhos dos direitos da criança e do adolescente da zona da mata mineira

Abstract

This study focused its efforts on theoretical elaborations which shed light on the changes occurring along the process of development of Capitalism and how the strategies engendered by it in overcoming the crises arising from the process of production-reproductionaccumulation ultimately determined the guidelines of the neoliberal adjustments which would necessarily reflect on the determining factors of the social policies of nation-states. Brazil began this process in the 1990's. However, on the opposing side of this process there is, in the 1988 Constitution, a positivation of the struggles of the social movements and of several social categories which would later trigger the Regulatory Marks of the constitution of a State firmly inserted in the field of social policies. An example is Law 8069/1990 – Statute of the Child and Adolescent. Due to this constitutional provision, councils were created in the three branches of government and, from that came a new institutional design for this policy with prospects of participation and social control. In this context the course entitled "Training of City Counselors on the Rights of the Child and the Adolescent and Guardians: a Strategy to Strengthen the System of Guarantees of Rights of the Child and Adolescent" proposed by the Secretary of State and Social Development of Minas Gerais - MG-SEDESE and the Front to Defend the Rights of the Child and Adolescent of Minas Gerais - MG-FDDCA took place. The aim of this study is to verify whether this project was able to train counselors for the discussion and deliberation of public policies to serve the Child and Adolescent in the cities' CMDCAs (Child and Adolescent Rights City Councils) in Minas Gerais' 'Zona da Mata'.
