| 4. In which ways is the initiative creative and innovative?
|
|
This initiative adopted by our school unit is differentiated because it counted on the participation and the involvement of each segment to restore the credibility of the school unit and to return to it its mission that is to train citizens capable of high administration, recognizing their potentialities, rights And duties towards a more just and renewed society, since from the moment the family understands its role of collaborator in the formation of their child, the school comes alive and respects and can thus play its part in the transformation of human beings. In short:
1 - the school came alive when the external segments began to compose the school actions;
2- The school has launched projects to listen to students and their needs. 'Listen to Me' projects with the aim of getting closer to the reality of the learner;
3 - The school began to carry out pedagogical actions and preventive campaigns in the neighborhoods where students live to address sexually transmitted diseases, the rights and duties of the citizen, appreciation for the elderly, respect for religiosity, racial diversity, among other topics.
4 - The school began visiting businesses and institutions that could provide the first job to students to remove them from vulnerability, idle time and exposure to drug trafficking.

| 5. Who implemented the initiative and what is the size of the population affected by this initiative?
|
|
Our school unit is located in a peripheral neighborhood with more than forty thousand inhabitants and thirteen thousand residences, serving families of middle class, middle-low class and low class, with the largest share of these families not earning two minimum wages. These parents carry out various occupations ranging from: maids, cleaners, bricklayers, mechanics, tradesmen, guards, street vendors, community agents, painters, electricians, bricklayers; Social workers, lawyers, teachers, businessmen, bankers, professionals, nurses, freelancers, painters, pastors, accountants, physical educators and politicians. It should be noted that, some students receive assistance from the Federal Government through Bolsa Família which complements the family income. Others had their families contemplated with the federal government program Minha Casa, Minha Vida.
The school accumulates, in the history, awards of Best Public School of the Year (2013 and 2014), granted by the Public Ministry of the State of Bahia, due to the projects of good practices developed, which raised the quality of teaching and learning in the unit.
The unit also received the State Highlight award in the 14th edition of the 2013 School Management Award from the National Council of Education Secretaries, winning participation in the First International Seminar on Good Management Practices in November 2014 at the University of Nottinghan in London, England. The institution was selected based on the project 'I Want, I Can, I Must Fight Violence - embrace peace and promote this cause', which addressed different topics such as bullying, teenage pregnancy, obesity and verminoses, always from the discussion With the school community.
Regarding quantitative, we can say that our school unit encourages and rescues through school actions not only its students but also the municipality and schools of the state, since we are always asked to exemplify how this action changed the school that became a reference of the State of Bahia not only in the pedagogical as in the human part.

| 6. How was the strategy implemented and what resources were mobilized?
|
|
In view of the changes that have occurred in the implementation of more democratic laws in Brazilian education, and aiming at a pedagogical practice that ensures a more just and participatory society, we realize that the school should be a place of conception, realization and evaluation of its educational project, once Which, periodically, needs to organize its pedagogical work based on the yearnings of all segments of the school unit. In this perspective, it is essential that it assume its responsibilities, without waiting for the upper administrative spheres to take this initiative, but only to provide the necessary conditions to carry it forward.
In this way, we understand that in order for the success of this democratic school aimed at everyone, parents, students, employees, community, NGOs, public and private institutions and teachers must be part of the process of building the school for all of us. Towards a true EDUCATION THAT TRANSFORM REALITIES.

The success of school actions is not only determined by their teachers and students. The union and conception of transformation assimilated by each segment of society and which gives strength so that the school can really play its role as a key element in the search for children and young people capable of treading the path of their conquests.
In our school unit, several segments bet on our proposal and are part of it:

| 9. What were the main obstacles encountered and how were they overcome?
|

Resistance in not accepting challenges often hinders initiatives that aim at the improvement and coexistence of all, but in our school unit each segment believed in the proposal of rescue and appreciation of the apprentice and made the ideas come out of the paper and become real.
We will not call it a problem, the challenge was to restore the credibility of the school unit and give it back its social function: to transform lives.
