The professional master's research project entitled Between access and non-access: the challenges to ensure youth, adult and elderly education for gypsy women in Porto Seguro aims to analyze the access of gypsy people to municipal education, with emphasis on women. As specific objectives, it seeks to understand how gypsy identity is characterized in Porto Seguro, linked to the cultural, social and gender relations dynamics within their respective camps; identify the strategies and challenges for the implementation of the EJAI offered to Roma people in the city of Porto Seguro; and collectively prepare a guiding document that contributes to the implementation of EJA classrooms for Roma people within the scope of the Porto Seguro Municipal Network. The research has a qualitative and interdisciplinary nature, exploratory in relation to the objectives, and is based on studies and critical research in the area of ethnic-racial relations in the country, relying on participatory research. Methodologically, it includes bibliographical and documentary research, along with field research at the Gypsy Camp located in the Caboatã neighborhood of Porto Seguro, aiming to understand the perceptions of Gypsy women on the subject of School Education. To this end, it includes holding rounds of conversations in articulation with the gypsy camp and with the Pedagogical Sector of the Municipal Secretary of Education and the Municipal Secretary of Social Assistance through the Coordination of Traditional Peoples and Communities of the Municipality of Porto Seguro for the construction of the final product, consisting of a proposal for a Guiding Document that aims to contribute to the implementation of classrooms within gypsy camps and the discussion on gypsyness in teaching.
