TALES AND LEGENDS – One of the most anticipated moments of the event was the launch of the e-book “Tales and Legends”, fruit of an activity proposed to the students by the educators of the Institute. The literary production consists of a collection of Illustrated stories of mysteries and common beliefs brought back by the young in their communities, thus holding in high esteem the local culture. Besides the tales and legends, a glossary explains the meaning of words and expressions typical of each region. “Each tale represents a link between generations, a reflection of our identity and our roots. The initiative attaches great importance to cultural diversity and demonstrates that a language reflects history”, comments Graziele Silveira Pinton, coordinator of the Projects Development Department. The e-book can be accessed at: www.crescerlegal.com.br/aprendiz
WORD OF FORMER STUDENTS – One of the main purposes of the Annual Meeting of Rural Apprentices is to keep the current apprentices in contact with the former students from different municipalities. The latter share their experiences with the current students on matters related to the Rural Professional Learning Program they attended. Check the statements of the event live streamed on Youtube.
“This meeting is Always an opportunity to learn, and it reflects the spirit of the Institute: learning. I get emotional when I witness the evolution of our apprentices and former students. The theme of this year is even more special because it highlights the importance of people, whether through awareness, or through initiatives related to sustainable practices. My message is for all of them is to keep on the right track, seeking knowledge and taking advantage of the opportunities that arise as time goes by, as is the case of the Institute, which will certainly make the difference in your lives”, stressed Iro Schünke, director president of the Growing-Up Right Institute.
