VENTURINI, Gabriela; CAMPESATO, Maria Alice Gouvêa  e  RODRIGUES, Elisandro. Curriculum and childhood: how have we welcomed newcomers to the world?. Rev. Diálogo Educ. [online]. 2025, vol.25, n.87, pp.1935-1948.  Epub 14-Jan-2026. ISSN 1981-416X.  https://doi.org/10.7213/1981-416x.25.087.ds11.

This article seeks to discuss the curriculum in the educational field in its connections with childhood. It takes Arendt's idea of the relationship between birth rate and world renewal to think about the ways we welcome children into school today. It problematizes the modes of production of contemporary childhood in schools, which increasingly focus on occupying children's time and offering them little of the world, impoverishing their experiences. Therefore, it dares to conjecture a curriculum that produces more dignified times, spaces and relationships for children. In an initial discussion, it analyzes the reception of newcomers to the world, thinking about the meanings and beauties offered to children today, through the curriculum. It continues by discussing the possibility of a curriculum that aims to lead without guiding and ends the discussion with a question about the curriculum: would this be a mode of production or an invitation?
