1 GENERAL REPORT OF ACTIVITIES 2015 1 2 INTRODUCTION The Kaffehuset Friele Educational and Cultural Center was created in October 2003 in a joint action between Kaffehuset Friele S.A., Astro Café and the Lambari Farm. This is an action developed by the Lambari Institute. The Kaffehuset Friele Educational and Cultural Center’s mission is to promote and spread universal, Brazilian and regional culture in the city of Poços de Caldas. Through the appreciation of our society’s diversity of cultural experiences, the center supports cultural manifestations that contribute to the expansion of freedom of expression, artistic and intellectual creation and stimulation of new initiatives and cultural actions. Having the support of Rouanet Law (for cultural incentives), of our partners and sponsors, this year of 2015 was extremely relevant to the Kaffehuset Friele Educational and Cultural Center’s continuation. All the developed activities have significantly contributed to the individual development of the participants and community. Since its inception many children and youngsters who live in this region have been directly benefitted. The access to books has brought to them a vast universe of knowledge and practices; digital inclusion has given them the contact with a new tool and all of its advantages: playing and discovering new possibilities are constant experiences in this space. The manifold supports such as books, magazines, newspapers, information sheets and digital platforms continually allow that information, knowledge and the 2 3 imaginary of other cultures are accessible and brings together other artistic languages, realities and worlds. Through different artistic activities proposed, besides technical knowledge that each workshop provides, all are continually stimulated to look at the nature that surrounds them, at the diverse and the familiar, the appreciation of talents, work, the other and at culture in its plurality. Art so proposed “re-introduces” to everybody new possibilities and also “illuminates” and values what we have: friends, community, the nature that surrounds us. We think that, in this way, we can value and foster the preservation of nature and all the different ways of life and expression of living, encouraging the access to basic tools for each child’s development. In the Kaffehuset Friele Educational and Cultural Center’s space, workshops and activities are chosen to value the transmission of universal and regional culture. Our main focus is in the literary reading, promotion for the formation of readers in artistic fields and appreciation of people and their community. Our space is located at Rodovia Poços / Palmeiral km12. Working hours are Monday through Saturday, from 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m., and on holidays from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m..

Coordinated by A COR DA LETRA – Center for Study and Research on Reading, Literature, and Youth – teachers from two schools were trained as reading mediators, and collections of children’s and teen books were donated to the schools’ libraries. To put these actions into practice, an organization was created in 2002, the Lambari Institute – Art Culture and Education, whose mission is: To support, encourage, develop, and promote culture, education, citizenship, environmental preservation and conservation, and sustainable growth. In October 2003, in partnership with Kaffehuset Friele S.A., Astro Café and Fazenda Lambari expanded this project by building the Kaffehuset Friele Educational and Cultural Center (Centro Educacional e Cultural Kaffehuset Friele – CECKF). The mission of the Kaffehuset Friele Educational and Cultural Center (CECKF) is to promote and disseminate regional, Brazilian, and universal culture in Poços de Caldas. The Cultural Center values the diversity of cultural experiences of a society as complex and heterogeneous as the Brazilian one; it supports cultural manifestations that contribute to the expansion of the freedom of expression and artistic and intellectual creativity and creation, and encourages the conception of cultural actions. Considering culture as an essential axis for the construction of the country’s identity, and one of the most effective in promoting citizenship, the Cultural Center offers the public a diverse program free of charge. Also, it provides an accessible collection of literature and a 24 25 computer room for use, search, content production, and the promotion and stimulation of the production and dissemination of artistic expression in different areas. Education in Brazil is still far from satisfactory. Although recent surveys reveal more positive indices, much remains to be done. A large part of Brazil’s rural population has very limited access to cultural goods. On the other hand, they have their own culture, their myths, and their stories. It is essential to ensure that this population retains its beliefs and customs so that it can value that which gives it an identity. But it is also necessary to enable these people to become acquainted with and have access to what is universal. We believe that every action develops from reading literature. Reading enables contact with what is different, with other ways of thinking and relating to the world and with nature. Through reading, children expand their knowledge, imagination, and language. Language is the basic tool through which we relate to the world, imparting meaning to it and allowing us to interact within the different social contexts in which we live. It was this opportunity to read literature and to be in contact with narratives in general that led to the creation and expansion of many other projects along these almost eleven years of existence of the Kaffehuset Friele Educational and Cultural Center. In 2012, Mrs. Anna Helena Mariani Bittencourt, who owned the land where the Kaffehuset Friele Educational and Cultural Center and its annexes are located, donated it to the Instituto Lambari (Lambari Institute) to give the Center greater autonomy and establish it as an 25 26 area for public use. Since then, several initiatives have been implemented to develop and sustain this action. ACTIVITIES AND WORKSHOPS DEVELOPED IN 2015 READING MEDIATION Reading Mediation proposes to provide children, teenagers and adults contact with literature and reading. Educators prepare the space to welcome them by selecting books from the collection. This had been our greatest focus and these activities take place every day in the morning and in the afternoon. 26 27 This year, Reading mediations happened in different contexts: Early Childhood (children between the ages of 0 to 6 years old), “Radio Lê” in partnership with the José Avelino de Melo City School to teenagers and adults offered in the Cultural Center. READING IN EARLY CHILDHOOD: Reading mediation in early childhood was a main focus in 2015. It happened every Friday from 3:40pm to 4:20pm, alongside small children (from 2 to 6 years old) and it was organized in partnership with the teachers from José Avelino de Melo City School. The children, accompanied by their teachers, attended the Reading sessions with the educators and brought with them a small bag with the purpose of choosing a book to take home afterwards. It was an opportunity to get in contact with the book and many different stories but also to multiply the access to stories and books to other people as well, in this case, the children’s family members. Reading to small children is a moment that generates many discoveries, not only for themselves through browsing, admiring, playing with the books, telling the story to a friend, discovering about things and themselves in words, but also for the mediator, who admires each and every shared discovery. The children feel at home there and have the autonomy to get the books, sit down with them, read, share readings and borrow them. 27 28 In this adventurous space, what appeals the most is the importance of a child’s first contact with the object book because it is from this moment that it starts to become part of his/her first trips to the universe of imagination and fantasy. ” One thing that has called our attention is that all the books read to children during Reading Mediation end up going back to their hands through loans, which means that the Reading of these books Works as an invitation to the universe of stories.” “In the beginning of Reading Mediation with small children, they thought everything was a novelty, we could only read one or two books in the first few days. However, as time went by, with their adaptation to the space and routine, we were able to read an average of five books. This has become very pleasurable for them because they have the freedom to choose the book they want to be read. “Account from educator Tatiana Aparecida da Silva 28 29 RADIO LÊ From the partnership with José Avelino de Melo City School, educators from CECKF do Reading Mediation through Radio “Lê”. It is a project that takes place during snack time (Wednesdays from 2:40pm to 3:30pm). The educators put a rug on the floor next to the cafeteria with previously chosen books and when the children are finished eating, they run over there to listen to stories. Some teachers also become involved in this activity and many times borrow books. This partnership has existed for three years and it is positively evaluated by all participants “When we, educators, arrive for the Reading, some children come straight to us to sit on the rug. The idea that we have is that this is such a pleasurable moment that many forget to have their snack to listen to the stories. And we also have children that like doing this so much that the make piles of books so that we can read those to them. These are many situations in which the children feel so at home in this space and with our presence that they offer to read to us educators.” Account from educator Tatiane Aparecida Silva 29 30 BOOK LOANS: The proposal is to provide the access to literary books to the rural community which has become a constant practice. The CECKF’s collection is vast and varied, containing literature books, Picture books, for children and teenagers, games almanacs, Brazilian and Foreign novels, poetry and comic books, among others. With the Library system computerized, the user can register and make the loan, having a deadline to return it but with the possibility of extending it. We also make book loans to students and teachers from the local school who are frequent visitors to the Center. “We always make loans to small children, and as soon as they arrive, they go straight to our Reading corner which is a magical moment for them. They become involved with the stories they hear from us and many times, they borrow the books we read to them. We have also noticed that they build an autonomy and the taste for Reading through stimulus since a very young age.” Account from Tatiane Aparecida da Silva Frequency: Daily. 30 31 READING WITH YOUNGSTERS Reading circles with youngsters propose to encourage them to continue reading novels. We have noticed that when a child reaches a certain age, his/her interest in reading may waver. With this observation, we believe that the Reading circles provide an opportunity for these youngsters to continue exploring the literary universe, having the chance for a better identification and interaction among themselves and with stories. This project happened every Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. The choice of books comes from their interest and also from the educator’s suggestions. The reading happens in a collective way in which every participant reads a part. The Reading circle may take place indoors or outside the reading space which allows us to observe that, after the session, each youngster has their moment to share with friends their 31 32 point of view regarding the book and also discuss points found to be interesting. The reading of Pinocchio occurred in a spontaneous way. A group of youngsters became curious to know more about this story and so they decided that we would read it aloud by chapters, each one taking a turn. This way, each would read a little and pass on to the next who would continue until the end of the chapter. It was an interesting and important moment for them to be in touch with a classic tale from the Italian culture. During this process, many spontaneous debates took place about the situations the narrative described and about the characteristics of the character itself: “Pinocchio is stubborn, he lied and always got into trouble. When he had a chance to make the right choice, he would fall for the fox’s traps.” - RENATO DONIZETTI DE CARVALHO Frequency: Daily. 32 33 “I READ IT AND I LIKED I In the Cultural Centre, there is a corner called “I read it and I like it” which is destined for the nomination of books that someone has read and like it. It represents an opportunity of suggesting a title so that other people can get to know it too. This announcement is put on one of the existing bookcases in Cultural Centre’s library. And all that pass by this bookcase can’t help but taking a look at the nominations and, many times, become interested and borrow a book from this section. Some nominations: GUESS HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU “I liked it because in the end he kept looking at the moon, said “I love you” and then went to sleep.” Mc BRATNEY, Sam. Adivinha quanto eu te amo.

It proposes to stimulate the child to widen his/her gaze of the world through drawing and observation. The techniques used in this workshop were: graphite pencil, chalk pastel, crayons, coal, colored pencils, watercolor, gouache paint, China ink, etc. In 2015, preschoolers had the opportunity to get in touch with watercolor pencils. Such was their surprise to see the effect made by the wet pencil that brightened their faces, causing enthusiasm at their finished work. Many groups went through the workshop and found diversified proposals to explore the drawing made by observation: different sized sheets of paper, for example, which is an important element as it allows differentiated movements (enlarged or contained) before each support, as well as the end result of the drawing. Another well-appreciated proposal was the “Suspended Drawing” workshop (where participants are literally suspended by the ceiling) which was inspired by the Segni Mossi movement. This workshop has 35 36 reached an audience of 60 participants between the ages of 3 and 9 years old, divided into 6 sessions. The younger ones also requested to participate and it resulted in one session dedicated entirely to them. This workshop was named “Suspended Drawing” due to the fact that the child artist draws while he/she is moved by a swing. It took place in the CECKF’s annex through bracing a swing hammock to the iron and wood structures on the space’s ceiling. The following materials were used: gouache paint, kraft paper in different sizes and paintbrushes. As soon as the child begins to swing, little by little the drawings come to life in a random and soft way, to the sound of classical music. At each workshop it is noticeable how each child develops the skill to draw, acquire control over expressive graphic possibilities, and draw with flow and intent. Frequency: 3 workshops per week 36 37 WOODCUT WORKSHOP The woodcut workshop is a drawing technique that, in Brazil, is often used in Cordel literature. It is a technique in which you carve the drawing on the piece of wood, being able to make impressions of the drawing. This technique offered at the CECKF has great demand. However, to better develop it, it is necessary that few children and teenagers participate in each turn. Furthermore, it is interesting to observe the youngsters interacting and relaxing in the workshop, turning it into an engaging activity, even though it requires careful attention to the investigative possibilities in woodcutting for the production of the drawings. The workshop took place with the students from José Avelino de Melo City School. In the beginning of the workshop, a meeting is held with the purpose of sensitizing the participants to the woodcut. Cordel literature is presented as well as the specificity of each tool and material that will 37 38 be used in the workshop. The step-by-step is taught to make the drawings and as soon as they are printed, the youngsters show pride in the results. “I really liked to take part in this workshop. It makes me want to be here all day. It’s very cool.” – Testimonial from Wallisson de Paulo – 10 years old LIVING MUSEUM The “Living Museum” fosters and proposes the exploration and Discovery of native nature and the identification of the trees that surround CECKF and the José Avelino de Melo City School. This year the school was the chosen space for the identification of trees because in the 3 years since this workshop started, many plants around the CECKF have already been identified. The proposal is that each student adopts a tree, walks around the school and discover their details and specifications The first step was to register the tree chosen by each one and collect a sample of its leaves. While this leaf goes through a process of dehydration, which 38 39 takes a few days, other activities are proposed and carried out. During this period, the children research about their study object and solve doubts with Mr Aroldo, an elderly man who knows much about the Brazilian flora and comes here specially for this activity. The participants also take part in a drawing workshop; a moment in which the way they look at nature becomes even more exciting because it the opportunity children have to express their way of seeing and perceiving nature. In this workshop, watercolour pencils are used because after the projects are finished, this material helps to soften the drawing. They identify the trees by their popular names and some by their scientific name. They also attach the dehydrated leaf to the Herbarium alongside research results, the name and their drawing. In the end of the workshop, they make identification plaques for each one of the chosen trees and also for the ones around the José Avelino de Melo City School. 39 40 ARTS AND CRAFTS WORKSHOP Arts and Crafts are part of Brazilian Popular Culture and guarantee the livelihood of many Brazilian communities and families with each region’s characteristics. The CECKF recovers this culture in different types of arts and crafts: workshops were offered in “fuxico”, cloth painting and album restoration. In the cloth painting workshops, women residents and children had the opportunity to make use of creativity to come up with their own designs. The intention was to bring back the cloth painting culture and to reach this goal, the educator introduced techniques that helped the participants. In the “Fuxico” workshop, participants had the opportunity to learn how to make “fuxico” pillows, fridge magnets, notepads and some “fuxicos” to decorate photo albums. This activity has the participation of women and also the help of a “young boy” who showed his ability to make “fuxicos”. 40 41 At the Album Restoration Workshop, it is possible to recover some lost photo albums that we had at the CECKF. This restoration technique has become an opportunity to engage children and teenagers. They participated with much dedication and the outcome was very satisfactory. COMPUTING The CECKF goers enjoy the computers connected to the internet to Interact, play, research, learn and access social medias. The internet brings together users of updated information which, along with different types of knowledge and followed and discussed together with the Centre’s educators, contribute to the personal growth of our audience. 41 42 Many youngsters used our computers to do research for Government Education Programs, to sign up for public exams (for government Jobs, universities), besides looking for information and research for their school homework and projects. Teachers also book times to bring a group to do guided research on the internet. Groups of students arrange to come to the CECKF to finish their school research. Mothers use the internet to search for cooking recipes, among many other things for which is the internet. In conclusion, this benefit for this public is becoming more and more essential. PLAY TIME This activity proposes to stimulate living together in the same space, interaction and the appreciation of the capability of translating symbols and being creative which are translated through playing. The educators created the “Toy BOX” with a considerable variety of toy cars, dolls, stuffed animals, etc. Babies and children loved playing with the toys and sharing them with their friends. The experience the space freely, pushing toy cars and playing with dolls. 42 43 For the babies, the box brought a differentiated experience: it is low and gives easy access to the smaller ones. They feel the freedom to use it, extending this moment to both indoor and outdoor areas of the space. The babies’ first reaction here in the CECKF is running to the Toy Box and use all the spaces to play. Account from the Educator Renato The production of toys along with the children has brought in them the expectation and motivation to build their own toys. Together, we made “barangandão arco-íris” (juggling colourful whips), swords, hats and glasses, all made from recyclable materials such as newspapers. During the production, it is clear how much they are worried with the details: in painting, ways of making something and even when they help a friend. It is a relaxing moment and, at the same time, a moment of expectation to see the toy finished. 43 44 The children would ask me all the time when we would be back to the Kaffehuset Friele Educational and Cultural Centre to get the glasses! They were very enthusiastic to show other friends what they had learned to make. Account from teacher Maria Gabriela from the José Avelino de Melo City School The activities designed to produce toys make the children value them more due to the fact that they were made by the children themselves and this enables them to play with something that they had built with their own hands. The children explored the Toy Box through the entire year, and every time the teachers came to get books, kindergarten children would play with the toys. “Davi Luca, a 3 year-old child who lives in the Lambari farm, comes here in the Center every day. And the first thing he does is to get toys. 44 45 He loves toy cars and I think it is because his father works with a tractor on the farm.” – Account from an Educator The youngsters really like to play hide-and-seek and sliding on the grass is guaranteed fun. Frequency: Daily KITE WORKSHOP The kite is a very common popular toy in Brazil and, because it is simple and easy to make, we had the ide ato include this workshop with the purpose of encouraging children to play outside, run and experience sensations of freedom, giving the youngsters a unique moment. In this workshop, youngsters concentrate to make the bamboo sticks thin and light. This demands skill and while they are making these, many subjects come up like parents’ childhood stories, their own experiences, and so they share stories that happened on their farms. In the end, many different models were created, light and delicate. After they are finished, the youngsters will fly the kites and this moment is also 45 46 very rich in experiences, they feel free, the wind. They come closer and apart from each other at the same time, because they want to fly their kites higher. GAMES The aim of this activity is to stimulate children and youngsters to Interact through the games offered by the Centre. They are available to all guests. Strategy games like Risk and Uno, that require concentration in order for you to beat your opponent, have won the hearts the teenage public and what they like best about this is to put together teams to compete in these games. Not only is Risk a game that holds kids’ attention making them spend hours playing, but it also perfects their knowledge about geography. 46 47 On the other hand, younger children tend to prefer the “Games basket” where they can find Uno and memory games, which are easy to understand and dynamic. The educators’ participation push tempts children to want to stay longer in this activity. The children played checkers a lot in the past year because the dispute is fierce and even so, the competition is a healthy one. The youngsters like playing with the educators and when they win, they are thrilled. We have noticed that logical reasoning, playful interaction and its discoveries were taken on through the games. Children and youngsters want to go beyond what the computer and the internet offer because when they play together or against each other, they built a bridge for playing and sharing, discovering and imagining. This happens through the direct contact, of what’s real and the interaction and “putting yourself in other’s shoes” brings. DOCUMENTATION The Kaffehuset Friele Educational and Cultural Centre has as principle the appreciation of record and memory of the events and meetings that take place daily in our space. The recordings are about our daily life and many times, the act of taking a photo happens spontaneously. During the activities in the space, sometimes it is the visitors themselves, children and teenagers, who play the part of the photographer and register their friends and the moments they find relevant. The records made by them are quite interesting because, while they are 47 48 perfecting this differentiated look on things, they observe the details of each moment. Frequency: Daily SOUND EQUIPMENT LOANS As the CECKF has sound equipment, it is often requested of the centre its loan for many events. This year, it was loaned for the following events: ● FET – Theater Festival - Location: Amphitheater ● “June” Party (cultural festivity in the winter months) - José Avelino de Melo City School ● Spring Party - José Avelino de Melo City School ● Capoeira Graduation – Changing levels- José Avelino de Melo City School ● 9th grade Graduation - José Avelino de Melo City School 48 49 TRAVELLING CINEMA The Travelling Cinema offers a moment of leisure and relaxation through movie sessions. In partnership with the Carmélia de Castro City School which is located 22km from the Centre in the city of Poços de Caldas, MG. These sessions happen once a month, in the morning and in the afternoon, reaching a total of 140 children and teenagers, bringing unique and pleasurable moments to the Carmélia de Castro City School. The school has an excellent structure with large classrooms, sports gymnasiums, library, computer room, bakery and a vegetable garden. The school Works with the government program More Education and the children and youngsters study in a full-time schedule. We can notice how much the children and staff enjoy this proposal because when we arrive at the school we are welcomed with wide smiles. This makes the effort even more significant because many children, who don’t have the opportunity to go to the town to watch a movie in the cinema, become emotional when watching a movie with us. I am happy when the movie is over and the children and teenagers begin to clap their hands to the movie and come to me to give their thanks. Testimonial from Educator Renato 49 50 SCHOOL VISITS The Centre’s space is also available for visits from the Poços de Caldas area schools. The schools that have scheduled a visit are welcomed with a little bit of the Centre’s history, they are acquainted with the drawing workshop, computers, the books and their importance. They also participate in a reading mediation session and right after are taken on an enjoyable tour around the Lambari farm’s colony so that they can get to know the farm’s houses, what is like to live here and hear the farm’s stories and the people who live here. We notice that 50 51 the children truly enjoy this because they have fun, let go of their shyness, enjoy the space, play and climb trees in the Centre’s Garden. After so much relaxation, we have a picnic in amphitheater or in the annex, which is followed by their departure back to their schools. ACTIVITIES WITH PARTNERSHIPS DANCE WORKSHOP Dance rehearsal: ”Pau de Fita” “Coco e Xaxado” dance The project “Dance for Children” has been functioning in the city of Poços de Caldas since 2002. However, it was only in 2010 that this Project formed a partnership with the CECKF and with the José 51 52 Avelinode Melo City School, with the sponsorship of DME (an energy company from Poços de Caldas) and with the Incentive to Culture Municipal Law, and through Etapa Builder in the year of 2015. Dance classes take place on Wednesdays and are open to all José Avelino de Melo City School’s students and the Centre’s visitors. This year, 7 presentations were performed in various locations and festivities in Poços de Caldas, which involved creating new choreographies for the dance “Pau de Fita”(pictured above), besides the choreographies from the previous year, which were: Xaxado, Coconut Dance, Ciranda and Congada. (all are Brazilian dances) In these performances, the children had the opportunity to show the audience a little of folk dancing which is a cultural component of humanity and also to enrich their repertoires regarding regional traditions. This was the case, for example, in their participation in Poços de Caldas Traditional Party called Saint Benedict’s Party, where they performed the Congada dance. These children became better acquainted with the customs and traditions of this party, got to know important characters from this celebration, such as the King and Queen of Congo. Not only this but they also learned a little bit more of the movements, bangs of drums from these people’s culture. Furthermore, in their participation in the Uai Party, they enhanced their knowledge about the Caipira Mineira culture. There were many presentations of this differentiated work that the teacher Angélica Viana builds with her students. We notice that they become interested, lose they shyness and, mainly, learn to appreciate folk dances and also participate actively by suggesting choreographies to the teacher. 52 53 Dance in the Saint Benedict’s Party DRAMA WORKSHOP 2015 was filled with cultural and artistic presentations in CECKF’s amphitheater. One of them was by Portuguese Language and Drama teacher Loredany Vilela’ students who were part of the Theater Workshop. This activity is also a CECKF partnership with the José Avelino de Melo City School through the Federal Government Program More Education. This partnership came through with the loan of the CECKF’s space (annex and amphitheater) for the drama rehearsals and also for the bean bag and costume making workshops. The result of this partnership was the presentation of the play “Lampião e Maria Bonita” in the City’s theater during the Student Theater Festival, which had excellent public approval. The rehearsals happened every Monday, from 12:30pm to 4pm. On rainy days, the rehearsals took place in the CECKF’s annex. 53 54 We have noticed that both this partnership and the proposal of the workshop itself brings a lot to the youngsters’ cultural repertoire. We have also observed how much better they expressed themselves in front of a public and their way to acting and thinking. I perceive education as a triangle “Me, you and the actions”. In the year of 2015, I could rely on the partnership with the Cultural Centre to develop actions that jumped over the walls of the school such as Drama, which had its acme in the FET- Student Theater Festival, promoted by the Education Secretariat of Poços de Caldas. This presentation took many students to the aridity of the Northeast Brazilian wilderness, to the aridity of the human heart in “Lampião e Maria Bonita”. Besides the workshops I put together with the actors, I also built part of our set in the Centre’s annex: bean bags made of PET bottles with drawings alluding to this dry area in Brazil; woodcut workshop and dance with teacher Angélica’s group “Dance for Children”, a project that also happens in this space. 54 55 But the basis for all the above mentioned work to have come to life, came from the collection that is a tour disposal in the CECKF’s library, because an education of quality is one that has the vision that the world of Reading goes further than the school environment. Certainly, we went beyond our own expectations and educating made sense. We can only see when there is meaning, the meaning of life.! TEACHER Loredany Villela Galindo Peres – Portuguese Language CAPOEIRA With the partnership bEtween the José Avelino de Melo City School and the CECKF, through the Project More Education, it was established an agreement with the children and teacher Ailton (Master Sabiá) that Capoeira rehearsals would be allowed to take place in the CECKF’s facilities. We were astounded by the development of this workshop and by the important manifestation of Capoeira, an aspect of Brazilian Popular Culture; we have observed that teacher Ailton is able to recover this culture in a playful manner, providing activities to improve reflex, coordination, motor skills, cognitive skills and memory through singing Capoeira tunes. Approximately, 30 kids participate and Interact with enthusiasm and disposition to learn each day more the movements and the songs. This year, there were a few rehearsals and one presentation in the 55 56 anniversary of the CECKF that took place in our space, however, many others happened at the school. The results of this workshop were presented in the graduation ceremony where the students upgraded their levels (through the Exchange of different colored ropes that students wear around the waist like a belt) which took place in the José Avelino de Melo City School’s sports court. Master Ailton (Master Sabiá), together with other Capoeira masters, played with the students “baptizing” (each student receives a capoeira nickname based on their personality) them as “Capoeiras”. They also took advantage of this day to celebrate the national day for Black Culture Awareness by telling everyone present about Zumbi dos Palmares, a former slave who fought for the abolition of slavery in Brazil. It was a reaping day, of fruit planted throughout the year and we were amazed what was accomplished: we saw children and teenagers excited, appreciating and respecting the history of black people in Brazil, culture and others. 56 57 AGROECOLOGY WORKSHOP The agroecology workshop is also carried out in a partnership between the José Avelino de Melo City School and the CECKF. Every Wednesday, Thursday and Friday afternoon, educator Renato Carvalho (CECKF) leads this workshop with the help of Mr José Ramiro, the driver who takes the children to school. The participation of the educator in this workshop was advantageous because the Agroecology activities were scheduled alongside others such as games, drawing workshop and reading mediation. This has allowed more access time to the overall Centre’s schedule to the youngsters and children involved in this particular project. With a repertoire of activities connected to direct contact with the Earth, these children plant vegetables and greens, take care and reap this food, which is often offered in their snacks at School or sold to raise to funds to buy new seeds and seedlings. 57 58 Besides planting and taking care of the vegetables, in this workshop it was also resumed the planting and care of medicinal herbs in the Herb Corner which already existed in the CECKF. Resuming this activity influenced children and teenagers to get to know the benefits of many medicinal herbs and spices grown by their relatives and that now have seedlings in the Medicinal herbs CECKF. such as “Anador” (used as a painkiller) or even basil (plant used as cooking seasoning) are often looked for by residentes to be used at home, and this is a reward for work that is being developed. Even little Davi Luca, who is 3 years old, helped take care of the Herb Corner! 58 59 The results of this workshop are reaped each day. The youngsters are very interested in the workshops, they like manual work and some even help by sharing their experiences. A fact that can be used as example is when the educator Renato planted parsley seeds and a small boy, who was participating in the workshop, taught him that the parsley seeds must be planted in the shade so that they can germinate better. Some of these youngsters help taking care of the garden patch in their houses during the month of June. SOLAR HEATER Energy consumption in Brazil has been increasing each day due to modernizations in agriculture, people’s purchasing power and also because of automatization in industries. This brings more comfort to the population. Consequently, the price of energy also increases. Considering this scenario, it is necessary to foster awareness of economy and research alternative means of generating energy. The necessity to discuss this matter made it imperative to establish a partnership between the CECKF and EMATER (a public and local company that gives technical assistance to rural areas in Minas Gerais) in order to put together a project that would work with Solar Heaters using recyclable materials and having as a goal the awareness of the 59 60 responsible use of energy with the 9th grade students from José Avelino de Melo City School and the surrounding communities. Despite being a simple project, we cannot disregard indispensable details of its making and operation. That is why, under the orientation of Emater’s team, the 9th grade students had all the required care to carry out the project. This a low cost workshop, where the recyclable material is one of the main elements in the building of the heater bringing a responsible solution to accumulated waste. To have progress in this project, Emater’s team organized a conversation with the teenagers so that they could know more about awareness of energy consumption followed by a documentary about the solar heater. This project was made possible through the preparation of materials such as PET bottles and the donations received from the DME group of PVC pipes and a water tank. Throughout each meeting, the teenagers accomplished the necessary tasks for the progress of the 60 61 project: washing milk cartons, cutting the bottles in the required sizes, etc. Right after these items were ready, the teenagers were able to: continu e their work by painting the cartons black (as this colour absorbs more heat and therefore heating the water in the solar heater). These youngsters also cut the pipes in the established sizes and, in the end, assembled all the modules of the Solar Heater. In the end of this project, we gifted the Solar Heater to the Health Centre for the Family, located near the CECKF and also the residents who go there. Frequency: Every Thursday for 1h30min. TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT RANCHO GRANDE CULTURAL SPACE Several projects were carried out at the Rancho Grande Community Space in 2013: the book collection was catalogued and increased, new games and toys were acquired, and there was an expansion of 61 62 the Arts & Crafts workshop and the development for Reading Mediation educators. This year the focus was on Reading Mediation. Several gatherings took place that included sharing of experiences from other educators as well as video documentaries showing activities in libraries. These activities gave rise to an even greater wish to better know the collection and, together with the kids, find out their preference for different genre and to share even closer experiences with reading.
