This dissertation reports the experience of teaching History held at the Military College of Rio de Janeiro (CMRJ) through the implementation of an extracurricular project on International Relations (I.R.), which led to the creation of an I.R. club. (CRIO) and, consequently, the expansion of the original scope of the proposal. It thinks about the institution s own culture, its limits and opportunities, for the construction of a broader teaching of History. It advocates the possibility and necessity of this construction, pointing out some thematic paths, but always starting from the students creative action and supporting the entire experience of their autonomy. As a pedagogical intervention that is taking place, it is constantly being elaborated. This work makes a theoretical reflection on the actions carried out so far, inspired by the formulations and concepts of Paulo Freire, bell hooks and E.P.Thompson.
