This study aims to offer a contribution to Human Rights Education (HRE). In order to do so, it tried to capture the perception of those educators who have already come into contact with the HRE, instead of those who may be apart from the subject. In particular, the study aimed to understand the possible articulations between the teachers subjects and HRE, as well as how they would put them into practice. From a qualitative research approach, semi-structured interviews were conducted with fifteen specialist teachers from different secondary school subjects, as well as with one primary school teacher. The material obtained was analyzed in light of HRE s theoretical and methodological references (ANDRADE and LUCINDA, 2011; ARAÚJO, 2013; CANDAU and SACAVINO, 2010), besides key international and national documents on the subject. The results of the analysis indicate several possible relations between school disciplines and HRE as perceived by the interviewed teachers, especially regarding themes such as class, race and gender. Important findings also include the observation that the construction of such connections depend much more on a HRE-oriented contextualization of themes than on specific syllabus content. With regard to teaching practices, it was possible to identify a general avoidance of traditional school dynamics, which were usually replaced by art-based activities or lessons. The study concludes by pointing to manifold challenges faced by human rights educators, such as the current political situation in Brazil, the precarious conditions of teaching in the country, and issues related to school culture and climate. Regarding the latter, great emphasis was laid on school staff s profile.
