What will you find in this program plan?

In the Introduction, I developed a rationale for the proposal, some long-range goals and challenges. Continue reading
I would like to talk about the subversive nature of the entertainment market and pirate media distribution in Brasil. Through navigating Jenkings Convergence culture blog I was thrilled by the fact that he presented an opening talk on transmedia in Rio, in 2010.

This is an Amazing project developed at the Children’s Creativity Museum: “Creativity Stories“
A documentation of children’s creations through visual story-telling.
How many stories I have heard through these years working with children that I had to keep on my mind or enjoy just at the moment that they flourished.
I really wish I could have recorded them in such a way. But time limitations and sometimes resources never allowed me to do so.
But here is the idea, recorded for other people to see and for myself to remember.
I hope you enjoy this project as I did.

Once upon a time when art classes were a “cookie-cutter” path to follow through. Now it is time to learn with the children and to observe their creative development. To listen and understand, and finally provide support.
It is a time to inspire and let it be; To surprise yourself as a parent and educator and trust in their capacity to innovate.
