Portuguese term or phrase: pintar fora do risco
"... consciente ou claro, mas pelo qual aprenderam a se ver como seres não-históricos , ou fala da escola como um lugar onde “não [se] pode pintar fora do risco."
I thought about
be nonconforming / think outside the box, but I am sure there must be another way to say this...
Any help appreciated

think outside / out of / beyond the box; think outside the square


Explanation:
Penso que é isso mesmo. A escolha da expressão vai depender da variante inglesa da língua-alvo.

"Thinking outside the box (also thinking out of the box[1][2] or thinking beyond the box and, especially in Australia, thinking outside the square[3]) is a metaphor that means to think differently, unconventionally, or from a new perspective. " - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thinking_outside_the_box

Possible variant: step out of / outside the box

Upon additional context provided by the Asker and further research on my part, this is what I would suggest:

não pintar fora do risco: toe the line

"Com o livro para colorir ela apercebe-se melhor que há regras que deve respeitar (não pintar fora do risco) e faz com que dê mais importância às cores, que também têm um significado e se aperceba do local certo delas." (emphasis added) - https://docero.com.br/doc/x5ncnc

"Toe the line is an idiomatic expression meaning either to conform to a rule or standard, or to stand poised at the starting line in a footrace. Other phrases which were once used in the early 1800s and have the same meaning were toe the mark and toe the plank." (emphasis added) - https://www.google.com/search?q=toe the line&oq=toe the line...

Toe the line


Explanation:
To toe the line is to conform to a rule or standard, to do what you are expected to do without causing trouble for anyone.

Example sentence(s):
  • Students don't toe the line at Marlborough School
