SUMMARY:

This paper addresses the transmission of knowledge in the context of Candomblé, an Afro-Brazilian religion that plays a crucial role in the preservation of the sociocultural and identity heritage of the black peoples of the Brazilian diaspora. The study focuses on the Candomblé Terreiro Ilê Axé Osi Mutacutalegin, in the city of Belmonte, Bahia, and throughout its development shows how knowledge is gradually transmitted during the life journey of the adepts, connecting them with their African ancestry, mainly through rituals in honor of the orishas. The objectives of this research were: (1) to describe processes of knowledge transmission within the terreiro; (2) to teach people outside the terreiro about Candomblé, complying with the legislation in force in Brazil and providing anti-racist education, and; (3) to highlight the potential of the municipality of Belmonte/BA as an expression of Candomblé in Southern Bahia. The entire dissertation demonstrates a strong commitment to antiracist education, complying with the legal documents that support, mainly, the teaching of Afro-Brazilian and indigenous history and culture in schools. The research was conducted through an ethnographic approach, including reports of experiences lived in the terreiro, captured through photoethonography and audiovisual records. In addition, a Learning Support Notebook (CAA) was developed as a product, didactic material that aims to provide knowledge about the terreiro studied and its religious practices. This material was applied in two classrooms, with students from the 1st year of High School at Colégio Estadual Polivalente de Belmonte, in the months of October and November 2023. The experience generated an experience report, which is also presented at the end of this dissertation. Through the development of this master's research, it was possible to enrich the field of studies on non-school education in religions of African and Afro-Brazilian origin, which is still little explored in academia. By creating substantial material, the research also contributed to the theoretical framework in this field. In addition, the research had a significant impact on the terreiro and the local community of Belmonte, Bahia, strengthening the role of the terreiro as a space for religious and civic formation. This also reinforced the empowerment of the terreiro and contributed to the preservation of black culture in the region. The production of the Learning Support Booklet (CAA) "Religiosity and ancestry of the sacred space of Terreiro de Candomblé" demonstrated the commitment of the Graduate Program in Education and Contemporaneity (PPGER) at UFSB to promote anti-racist education, also becoming an innovative bibliographic reference and in line with education for citizenship and equity. The CAA provides new perspectives on religiosities of African and AfroBrazilian origin in classrooms, contributing to the enrichment of knowledge about Candomblé among Bahian and Belmont youth. Some challenges faced throughout this work, such as the large volume of material collected in the field and the time limitations of master's training, should be highlighted. Therefore, it is understood that there is a need for further studies and research on Ilê Axé Osí Mutacutalegin. In addition, the research points to a potential field of study related to gender roles within the terreiro, highlighting the participation of women in formative processes and rituals of religion.
