Methodology

Practical classes and physical development: Practical classes are the dorsal spine of the project, occurring regularly to allow participants to improve their physical skills, motor coordination and fitness. Capoeira, with its combination of distinctive and acrobatic movements, offers an engaging and effective way to exercise. In addition, practical classes promote unity and camaraderie among participants, strengthening the bonds between them.
Theoretical Classes and Cultural Knowledge: Theoretical Education is a fundamental part of the project. Participants plunged into the history of capoeira, exploit their African roots and understand their profound impact on Brazilian culture. This not only enriches the experience of participants in capoeira, but also cultivates a deeper respect for the rich cultural tradition that capoeira represents. In addition, understanding the history and culture of capoeira is fundamental for the formation of conscious and informed citizens.
Personalized mentoring: The team of educators of the ICVI plays a key role in the project, offering personalized guidance and follow -up to participants. This mentoring goes beyond the development in capoeira, covering each individual's personal challenges and goals. This approach aims to allow participants to reach their maximum potential, not only in capoeira, but also in their daily lives. Individualized support contributes to a welcoming and continuous learning environment.
Community events and culture celebration: To further strengthen community ties and disseminate the richness of capoeira culture, the Association organizes events that include capoeira wheels open to the public, educational lectures on the history and principles of capoeira, as well as cultural presentations that highlight the diversity and heritage of capoeira. These events not only involve the local community, but also promote a sense of belonging, sharing the positive energy of capoeira and its cultural tradition with a broader audience.

The Ginga Project represents a valuable opportunity to promote capoeira and its cultural values in Muriqui, Mangaratiba, Rio de Janeiro. Through a solid methodology that covers teaching, dissemination and evaluation, we believe this project will have a positive impact on the preservation of capoeira and the promotion of values such as respect and responsibility.
