Lá Vem História
Literature, art, and education in action.
Strengthening personal and community esteem through art, the Here Come Stories (Lá Vem História) project brings literature and other forms of artistic expression to children between the ages of six and twelve who attend municipal schools in Rio de Janeiro, in the South, North, and West regions.
Using traditional tales and authored works, students are invited to dive into textual improvisation and listening. The project provides two reading encounters and a workshop for art or music per week, in addition to three cultural events over the course of the year, benefitting a total of 6,523 students.
The project receives incentives from ALLOS through the Rounet Law and is held from March to June and August to November, 2023, promoting the cultural enrichment and creative development of participants.
Awakening imagination and creativity through popular culture.
With each encounter, students have the opportunity to explore different types of literary texts, such as folk tales, guessing games, poems, songs, personal stories and chapbook-type literature. They analyze symbolic elements and establish connections to their personal, school, and community lives, strengthening their identities and expression.
The program begins with the show “Yeté,” an engrossing musical spectacle by the musician Paulo Bi, in partnership with the percussionist Léo Cortez. Another group that has been invited is Tapetes Contadores de Histórias, with 25 years dedicated to the art of telling stories, which shares its narratives at educational institutions during the months of May and June.
After the workshops and story-telling sessions, students are invited to explore activities that stimulate their creativity in producing oral and written texts, and to create visual elements that complement the narrative.
The “Here Come Stories” project is approved by both the Federal Culture Inventive Law and the Municipal Culture Inventive Law – the ISS Law, demonstrating the commitment of ALLOS to strengthening education, art, and culture in schools.
