Anti-racist education initiatives in Brazil

Overview

In Porto Acre, Acre, the municipal government established the Forum Permanente de Educação Étnico-Racial (FPEER) via Decree 403. Signed by Mayor Máximo Antônio de Souza Costa, the forum is tasked with monitoring and enforcing public policies that mandate the teaching of Afro-Brazilian, African, and Indigenous histories and cultures in schools, in accordance with Federal Laws 10.639/2003 and 11.645/2008.

In Belém, Pará, the Public Prosecutor's Office of the State of Pará (MPPA) convened a meeting with higher education representatives and the Child and Adolescent Rights Protection Network to advance anti-racist education initiatives. The discussions focused on organizing the II Anti-Racist Education Seminar of the Municipality of Belém, scheduled for November 5 and 6, with an emphasis on educator training, inclusive school environments, and promoting racial equality.
