Meu Mundo com Manoel de Barros e a UFMS

Abstract

This article is a snippet of my experience as a member of the organizing team of the Extension Project of the Federal University of Mato Grosso do Sul, Aquidauana Campus, entitled: “The Poems of Manoel de Barros and UFMS: Enabling Paths Between Children and their Childhoods”. Manoel de Barros teaches us that simplicity is a gateway to beauty, and that poetry is in everything, and his verses are like drops of dew, reflecting the greatness of the smallest, reminding us that we are all water keepers, collectors of moments, and that life is made of sunrises. In this way, the Project that brings the Poet's Poems to children in the Municipality's Schools, brought countless possibilities of enchantment, knowledge and discoveries, both for the children and for me, who narrates this text. Keywords: Manoel de Barros. Poetry. Children and their Childhoods.
