Teatro na janela: uma experiência de grupo de adolescentes online na pandemia da COVID-19: relato de experiência

Abstract

This paper reports the experience of an occupational therapist in conducting online meetings during the COVID-19 pandemic for young people enrolled in the Janela da Escuta program at UFMG, using playful activities and theater games as tools to create an expressive workshop space for adolescents. Eight virtual meetings were held between October and December 2021, each lasting approximately two hours. The results highlight a sense of belonging within the group and emphasize the importance of this space as a health promotion initiative. Additionally, the Janela da Escuta program proved to be a valuable strategy for supporting adolescents, promoting expression and self-discovery through artistic activities, and positively contributing to existing care practices.
