SUMMARY:

This research work reflects on the teachings of traditional African education and the traditional education of Fon children from Benin, region of the former Kingdom of Daxomé. Its social relevance is to contribute to the continued approximation and acceptance of African knowledge and scholars by Brazilian families, culture, society and schools, with a view to overcoming racist and discriminatory practices. Organized into three chapters, we present and defend such teachings as important knowledge capable of helping in the process of educating children and developing pedagogical practices harmonized with some fundamentals of Afrocentricity and the study and teaching of African History in the Brazilian diaspora, based on the Law Federal No. 10.639/2003. To this end, we analyzed various texts (articles, dissertations, theses and book excerpts), especially by authors of African authors, in search of cultural, philosophical, social, historical, geographical and political information about African traditions and the Fon tradition of Benin. Afrocentricity consolidates our epistemic base; from which we observe the relationships and potentialities of the intersection of traditional African knowledge with Federal Law n.º 10.639/2003 and diverse educational practices. The product generated by this investigative journey is a short course entitled Ancestral Conversations on Traditional African Education.
