Abstract

In Brazil, the educational experience in bioethics focuses mainly to higher education in undergraduate and postgraduate levels. In recent years, there is growing recognition of the importance to develop the learning of bioethics from elementary school. The recommendations do not concern the inclusion of bioethics as a formal discipline in basic education, but as an area to be worked interdisciplinary and transversely in the context of whole, humanistic and critical education of children and adolescents. This study aims to present and to analyze an educational experience in bioethics in elementary school called the “Path of Dialogue” which used method inspired by peripatetic Aristotelic practices. This experience indicates that a relatively simple activity, supported primarily by human resources, provides satisfactory results in the approach of bioethics to basic education and promotes dialogue between the academia, society and school, promoting the moral improvement of all involved.
