This work analyzes a pedagogical project carried out in the first semester of 2023 with high school students in Catolé do Rocha, Paraíba, in the elective course "My School Has History: The Northeast by the Students". The objective was to develop didactic sequences for history classes to be disseminated in municipal and state public schools. The research involved 20 students in activities such as mapping historical consciousness, visiting historical buildings, analyzing sources, using photographs, and discussing the documentary "Praça de Guerra". The methodology was based on the Problematization Methodology and the Maguerez Arch, promoting active and reflective learning. Grounded in Jörn Rüsen's theory of historical consciousness, the study connects historical learning to the students' reality. The final product, "Didactic Sequences for Local History in Catolé do Rocha", will be distributed free of charge, aiming to enrich the teaching of local history and develop critical skills for civic education.
