Lazer, a prática de atividades físicas e território educativo: relato de experiência programa SESC curumim.

Abstract

This article is qualitative research that has analyzed, for two years, the participation of the child population and their families in public spaces of the city of Santos. The experiences were framed under the Curumim program, linked to the socio-educational sector of Social Trade Service (SECS) in the State of São Paulo, Brazil. Records and reports were used during the activities developed with the children and their families. Sports experiences were implemented with an emphasis on leisure and education, which involved catamaran travel, appreciation of nature, environmental awareness, treasure hunt, bicycle tour, picnic, origami and visit to historical places. The results reported a positive participation, which was verified in the number of people who were involved in the experiences. In addition, the reports registered that in the population there was no habit of walking in the public spaces of the city. Likewise, the promotion of affective contact was evidenced due to participation in activities and the promotion of a sense of belonging to the city. Finally, it was reinforced that the program is a promoter of integral education and that the city can be an accessible educational territory in which people can participate, live and learn.
