There, they discovered Camargo’s works and history and had fun with the interactive installations. The educational supervisor Leonardo Garcia emphasized to the Metropolises that the visit is a privileged opportunity for students to discover spaces that are not present in their daily lives.

The students, from the third to the fifth year of primary school, were divided into teams, one in the morning and the other in the afternoon. “For the vast majority, it was the first time in a space like the National Theater. They are children from lower-middle-class and peripheral families who rarely have access to this type of experience,” adds Garcia.
The experience is also a moment of inclusion: “We brought in all the students from the inclusion projects. We have children with physical disabilities and students on the autistic spectrum,” he continues.
Ana Beatriz Lima, a fourth-year student, said she had never been to the National Theater. His favorite job was chess. “I loved it, it’s big and beautiful. I don’t know how to play, but it’s cool to play with the pieces.”

Third-year student Raul Garcia revealed that although he had visited the Theater before, he was enchanted by the garden. “I found it curious to see how plants survive in a closed place and the coolest thing was playing chess with the artist’s pieces.”
Renata Ribeiro, a fourth-grade teacher at the school, said it was essential to bring the children to this exhibit. “It is an opportunity to discover art, appreciate works and come into contact with new things, in addition to relating all this to studies,” he emphasized.
