PROJECT – ABSTRACT “Histórias de Longe”  

“Histórias de Longe” is an interdisciplinary project in cross-cultural studies, translation and citizenship education.

The main goal of the project is to enhance relationships between nations, based on the promotion of intercultural perspectives. Thus, above all, the project intends to foster an attitude of respect and acceptance of cultural diversity, from an early age. Alphabet, by Edward Lear, Traits and Traditions of Portugal, by Julia Pardoe, and Japanische Märchen, by Karl Alberti are some of the narratives that have been translated, abridged and adapted, within the scope of the project.

Project Jogamos Tudo, Brincamos Todos” 

The pilot project ” Jogamos tudo, Brincamos todos”  is a community project to promote inclusion competencies in 1st cycle children, namely through the experimentation of playful-motor games adapted for sensorial and physical disabilities.
The present study aims to analyze the effect of an intervention program based on ludic-motor games adapted for sensory and physical disabilities, lasting 5 weeks. The project is for children of the 1st and 4th grades of the 1st cycle of Basic Education, and regards attitudes of inclusion and the perception of competencies. 32 students participated, 15 of which are male and 17 female, aged between 6 and 10 years old.
For the assessment of the implementation of this program of inverse inclusion, we used a mixed methodology with the quantitative assessment carried through a questionnaire (in validation process) and the qualitative assessment with focus groups. The main results reveal the existence of significant differences in the dimension of the perception of competences between the two moments of evaluation (pre and post). The analysis of the focus groups highlighted the satisfaction with the activities developed in the program as well as the perception of its relevance. In general, we concluded that the project allowed participants to be, more aware of the skills and difficulties of a child with disabilities, as well as more knowledgeable of strategies (for example games and play) to include peers with disabilities.
