Abstract

Family farming is characterized by multiculturalism, collective work and food sovereignty, associated with the elements that make up the peasant resistance to guarantee ecologically based production, identity struggle, confronting the rural exodus and the search for sustainability in the countryside. However, the historical process has evidenced loss of memories of what to do as a peasant, difficulty in accessing information and recently the Covid-19 pandemic has contributed to the problems facing the professionalization of rural youth. In this context, social museology has registered experiences of inserting rural youth into spaces of dialogue and territorial belonging of the peasantry. However, the presence of museums occurs unevenly in Brazilian regions, the Northeast is the third region in quantity and Piauí is one of the states with the lowest number of museums in the country.Given this context, the work opted for the integration of participatory action research with ethnography, involving rural youth and the socio-environmental technologies of the technical-pedagogical unit of the Quintal Agroecológico of EFA Cocais - PI, a participatory workshop and inventory were used to rescue the memories , oral histories, pedagogical mediations, experiments in social museology and elements of cultural heritage, to propose the participatory construction of a museum of reference for the cultural identity of the knowledge of the craft of peasants in the territory of the Cocais.Among the results, we highlight the photographic exhibition and ethnographic documentaries, nicknamed “Campo”, involving young people, peasants and the technologies of the agroecological backyard. These findings promoted the exchange, exchange of experiences, knowledge, memories and generational stories, subsidizing the proposal to create the territory museum at EFA Cocais as an instrument of social insertion and rescue of peasant culture.It is concluded that the exhibition and documentary Campo intertwined rural youth, the environment of the Agroecological Backyard and the knowledge of peasants, contributing to the appreciation and preservation of the intangible cultural heritage of the Territory of Cocais.
