Training on the subject of Human Rights was dealt with in two modules: Module I: “Fundamentals of Human Rights and Citizenship” and Module II: “Thematic Topics and the Human Rights Network in the city of São Paulo”. The course was developed and administered by the Department of Education in Human Rights at SMDHC, and taught via digital application with classes that included debates and audiovisual content, in addition to questions focusing on practical situations of activities related to daily life. The course methodology goes beyond traditional teaching models, in order to introduce theoretical and practical elements that contribute to improving service to citizens within the principles guaranteed by legislation and the Constitution, and in compliance with human rights, with regard, for example , respect for color, race, sexuality and social class. Among the topics addressed in Module I are fundamental issues of equality and difference; the political and conceptual history of sex/gender, sexuality, race/color, social class; and the historical construction (political and conceptual) of the notion of human rights. The total workload was 12 hours, with eight hours devoted to theoretical content and four hours to the exercise of activities related to the exposed subjects. The course content includes the legal norms that protect human rights, such as the Child and Adolescent Statute and the Maria da Penha Law; ways to mediate conflicts; and the current challenges and political projects in dispute in the consolidation of egalitarian and democratic values in the city of São Paulo. For Module II, the workload was 23 hours and the training had a partnership with the thematic coordinators of the SMDHC, among them: Coordination of Policies for Women, Coordination of Population in Street Situation, Coordination of Policies for Children and Adolescents, Coordination of Policy Coordination for Racial Equality and Policy Coordination for LGBTI+. The module contributes to the deepening of the themes that were requested by the GCM, especially from the deconstruction of racism, machismo, violence against women, LGBTphobia, violations of the rights of children, adolescents and the homeless population, in a context active listening and continuing education. Activities related to public urban security policies are currently undergoing a broad discussion about the care and treatment given to citizens, especially vulnerable populations.
