MACEDO, Adriana Ribeiro de et al. High School Students’ Emotion and Perception on the Privilege Walk. Educ. Real. [online]. 2022, vol.47, e108437. ISSN 2175-6236.  https://doi.org/10.1590/2175-6236108437vs01.

The social debate at school is essential for an integral, critical and emancipatory education. However, motivating students is essential to address social issues in a dialogic way, reducing resistance to debate. Based on Grada Kilomba’s reflection, from a psychological point of view on such resistances, this paper adopted the Privilege Walk (PW) as a strategy to approach the debate on social inequality at school. The following were investigated: self-perception of students’ social position, PW’s emotional dimensions, sincerity in PW and PW’s impacts on students’ perception about social inequality. Final position in PW correlated with social self-perception. The magnitude of the differences and the related factors empathically triggered important social perceptions and considerations.

Keywords : Privilege Walk; Social Inequality; School; Meaningful Learning; Emotional Dimensions.
