Abstract
The Afrocientist Project was conceived by the Associação Brasileira de Pesquisadoras/es Negras/os/es (Abpn), in 2018, and had the partnership of the Neabis Consortium - Nucleus of Afro-Brazilian and Indigenous Studies, and Related Groups, linked to Abpn, distributed across different Brazilian states and the Federal District, and Instituto Unibanco. In Brasília-DF, the partnership took place with GEPPHERG - Group of Studies and Research in Public Policies, History, Education of Racial Relations and Gender of Cnpq, headquartered at the Faculty of Education of the University of Brasília - FE/UnB, which coordinated the activities with the Centro de Ensino da Asa Norte (Cean), linked to the Federal District's Secretary of State and Education (SEEDF), and the Federal Institute of Brasília (IFB), linked to the Ministry of Education. The Afroscientist project aims to promote scientific initiation, strengthen black identity, enhance the feeling of racial belonging and citizenship in young black women in situations of social vulnerability, in order to increase their self-esteem, racial awareness and at the same time time, to act in the reduction of school evasion. As a theoretical-methodological reference, decolonial and counter-colonial approaches were chosen, and the use of the intersectionality tool in gender, race and class as an axis, in all the activities carried out. As a result of the three coordinated editions (2019, 2021, 2022) of the Afrocientista, Geppherg registers that the receptivity, acceptance of students to the proposals, strengthening of black ethnic-racial belonging, and, the consequences in terms of approval in selection processes for higher education, either at UnB or in IFB courses, exceed expectations. Finally, the need to maintain and expand the Afroscientist project is clear, and its potential to materialize legal frameworks for the Brazilian anti-racist struggle, such as the Statute of Racial Equality and Law 10.639/2003. And also, expanding the conscious participation in the racial quotas policy, law 12.711/2012.
