Projeto catadores de sonhos.

Abstract

This article presents the Project Catadores de Sonhos: design and dance for social welfare, which develops actions aimed at improving the socioeconomic status of Asmare waste pickers. The methodological procedures used had the active participation of the collectors, scholarship students and volunteers in the conception and integration of methods and instruments that involved all the activities. The project had as its northern objective the proximity between the subjects, a dialogical relationship, conceived by respect and mutual recognition. As contributions we highlight the various reflections for the areas of Design and Dance and perspectives of future works from a better understanding of the groups involved and the institution itself. This understanding comes through a greater understanding of the complexity of the project's actions derived from the living and working conditions proper to these people and that often extrapolate the areas of Design and Dance.
