SUMMARY:

Sankofa, an ideogram from the Akan language, represents the idea of looking to the past in order to reinterpret the present and build new futures. The symbol of Adinkra is a bird turning backwards, carrying a sphere, which symbolizes wisdom. In the educational sphere, Sankofa encourages us to revisit black history, values and ancestral practices, thus promoting the valorization of black epistemologies. In this context, anti-racist education is a vital response to the unequal structures that pervade society and, by extension, educational institutions. This is a bibliographical, archival and documentary study of a social-historical nature, which uses the decolonial methodology in a qualitative-quantitative approach, drawing on primary and secondary sources. The research is based on the following question: can Sankofa Pedagógica serve as an ally in anti-racist education? As a thesis argument, Pedagogical Sankofa is defended as a theoretical and practical possibility for promoting anti-racist education. Law 10.639/2003 emphasizes the need to integrate Afro-Brazilian history and culture into school curricula, creating a fairer educational environment. Sankofa Pedagogy, or Pedagogical Sankofa, offers a reflection in dialog with libertarian, decolonial, intercultural and exuistic education. This perspective reveals to us that the symbolism of the Sankofa bird provides a new pedagogical perspective, considering the creation of educational practices that not only celebrate inclusion, but also actively confront the historical inequalities and oppressions of black people in Brazil. Thus, alternatives will be presented to understand pedagogy as a Sankofa movement and, in practice, teaching projects will be debated that favor an anti-racist education, promoting appreciation, diversity and respect. Included in this Sankofa courses run by the Instituo de Pesquisas e Estudos Afro-brasileiros (Ipeafro), based on the principles of Sankofa pedagogy. Law 10.639/2003 emphasizes the need to integrate Afro-Brazilian history and culture into school curricula, creating a fairer educational environment. SankofaPedagogy, or Pedagogical Sankofa, The main findings include the relevance of a pedagogy that connects past and present, valuing Afro-Brazilian culture and its contributions to knowledge, as well as the e-books aimed at children's literature, Akin e o Pássaro Sankofa, and the paradidactic Pedagogia Sankofa - Como Educar uma Criança Antirracista, the fruits of this research. In conclusion, Sankofa Pedagogy is seen as an ally in the fight against racism in education, serving as a foundation for building an inclusive and equitable education, both in the theoretical and practical fields.
