Creation of games for teaching Libras
Didactic games are fundamental in teaching Brazilian Sign Language (LIBRAS), offering an interactive and engaging approach.

Furthermore, games encourage communication, cooperation and cultural understanding, making LIBRAS teaching more inclusive and accessible to different audiences. In this workshop, participants will be able to create a prototype of a game so that they can take it as a record of the experience and multiplication of the idea.

Show: The Baron in the Trees
“The Baron in the Trees” tells in a playful and poetic way the story of Cosme Chuvasco de Rondó, son of nobles, who at the age of 12 decides to climb trees and never come down again, becoming a great defender of nature and the environment. Mixing theater, music and storytelling to narrate the Baron’s adventures, the adaptation of Ítalo Calvino’s work brings elements that in the past were close to the children’s universe and today have become almost unknown: the games and manifestations of northeastern popular culture.
The show takes place on April 27th, from 11am to 12pm and from 3pm to 4pm.
Timeless and ancestral look: Photography workshop
