Abstract

This article aims to share and promote reflections on an educational practice undertook within the curriculum structure of the Pedagogical Center of UFMG called Differential Working Group (GTD). The focus of the GTD is centered on educational practices with students through the promotion of displacement and actions through ludic and dynamic tools, being the music the main tool used in This is America, in order to present other experiences for the students involved, both to students of the CP/UFMG and graduate monitors. In addition, we searched to provide the integral development of those involved, observing the multiple dimensions of the human being in pedagogical work. To achieve our goals, each class was focused on a specific theme and, through different mechanisms, students were sensitized to each theme and encouraged to reflect on the tangible consequences of each subject addressed in class in their own daily lives.
