HOW IT
HAPPENED?
Seeking to better integrate public authorities and the local community, in addition to allowing the participation of all those interested in the topic offered, including researchers and university students, 30 places were made available per course.
Throughout the 2 courses, we worked on a generating question:
"What is the best future for mobility in Campos today?"
And seeking to develop this question, we had the following schedule in each of the weeks:
Find the X on the map
Time to listen to local actors and identify the challenge to be addressed.
Define a vision
Finding a common sense in each team to guide their next steps.
Access possibilities
Survey of alternatives (positive or negative) for the proposed situation.
Materialize ideas
Construction of practical actions that convey the vision and central objective of each group.
Recognize interests
Discovery of the focal point that each formed group would like to develop.
Living laboratory
Test on site of one of the actions proposed by each team for a pre-selected area.
Unlike other courses, the multidisciplinary team responsible for structuring the course brought unconventional methods and experiments from the most diverse areas, creating moments of exchange, reflection, relaxation and great learning around the proposed theme and the question that started the entire process.
