IATEFL 2014 HARROGATE - UK

Debora Possani and Rose Gimenes at Victoria & Albert Museum

Nossa participação na 48th IATEFL International Conference 2014 teve início no final do ano passado quando o trabalho Fantastic Circus do projeto Living Drama in the Classroom foi aceito pela comissão organizadora do evento. Uma vez que não pudemos contar com nenhum patrocínio para a apresentação do nosso grupo, foi preciso que nos organizássemos com bastante antecedência. Participar de uma conferencia internacional tão conceituada como IATEFL é uma oportunidade para aprender com os trabalhos apresentados por outros professores, além de compartilhar o trabalho desenvolvido em São Paulo.

O trabalho apresentado, Fantastic Circus foi desenvolvido em nossa escola através do projeto Living Drama in the Classroom sob a orientação da Profa. Dra. Vera Cabrera Duarte PUCSP, que juntamente comigo coordenou todas as atividades desenvolvidas entre julho e dezembro de 2013. Contamos com a participação das orientandas: Debora Possani, Geisy Nunes e Vanessa Pozzoli.

É importante deixar registrado que a EMEF Pres. João Pinheiro foi a única escola pública brasileira a participar do evento e apresentar trabalho. No diário abaixo, apenas alguns momentos de cada dia até o final da conferência em Harrogate.

See the name of a public school in such important event was very important to me. I do believe that public schools are great places to teach and learn. Sharing our work and also learning from other teachers is surely rewarding!
