On September 15, the Module 1 of the Project Sharing Knowledge and strengthening dialogues in the context of Covid-19, a partnership between CEPIA with the Department of Education, through the Health at School Program (PSE) was concluded. The meeting that focused on Strategies in the returning to presencial activities: partnerships, creativity and opportunities brought together 48 participants, including representatives from the departments of education, health and social assistance and human rights. At that meeting, the participants shared tips and ideias on strategies and care to be taken to be better prepared to the  “new normal”.

The representatives of the PSE program from the Educational Department, Elisabete Alves, and from the Health Department, Sylvia Tristão, shared elements of the protocols being adopted, emphasizing the importance of prioritizing and considering the context of each territory, each school, in this process. Thaís Silveira, a psychologist invited by CEPIA held, in the closing session, a dynamic of relaxation and emotional strengthening.

Some of the participants’ comments on the relevance of the Project:

“The meetings were very important with key information and emotional strengthen,  inviting the participants to debate on subjects very relevant to our  professionals  practices, specially during this current context that we need to develop  coping tools.”

“We learned that self-esteem is not the same as vanity. That it is not a shame to be afraid, to fail, to be insecure, that difference guarantees the maintenance of our species.” “We brought up the concepts of patriarchy, domestic violence and racism.”

“I thank you for such powerful meetings !! That brought us reflections and learnings!”
