Boi-Bumbá
Boi-Bumbá by Kindergarten Children
Beautiful drawings from kindergarten children of the Boi-Bumbá were created. This activity was proposed after the reading of the story app Mobeybou in Brazil. Kindergarten children created drawings depicting the traditional Brazilian celebration of Boi-Bumbá. These drawings are a delightful blend of vibrant colors. They also showcase imaginative interpretations. Boi-Bumbá is a folkloric festival that originates from the North and Northeast regions of Brazil. It is particularly celebrated in states like Amazonas and Maranhão. The festival is rich in cultural symbolism and theatrical elements. The celebration revolves around the story of a resurrected ox, featuring lively music, dancing, and elaborate costumes.

A celebração gira em torno da história de um boi ressuscitado, com música animada, dança e trajes elaborados.

Workshop at the University’s open day with high school students
University of Open Doors (UPA)
On April 2024 the University of Minho held a new edition of the Open Doors University (UPA). The event aims at presenting the University’s offer to future students. It showcases its educational offer through exhibitions, guided tours, workshops, and lectures. Various other dynamics are included.
In this context, we organized an activity. It involved a group of 11th and 12th graders from schools in the municipality of Braga and beyond. The students engaged in exploring the storyMaker in small groups, creating stories. We are amazed about their interest in the activity. In the end, each group presented their narrative. The students said they enjoyed the activity. They highlighted the sounds as positive points. They also found the bright colours attractive aspects of the StoryMaker.
Nos dias 18 a 20 de abril, a Universidade do Minho realizou uma nova edição da Universidade de Portas Abertas (UPA). O evento tem como objetivo dar a conhecer a oferta da Universidade aos futuros alunos, apresentando a sua oferta formativa, através de exposições, visitas guiadas, workshops e palestras, entre outras dinâmicas.
Neste contexto, desenvolvemos uma atividade com um grupo de alunos do 11º e 12º anos, de escolas do concelho de Braga e arredores. Os alunos exploraram o storyMaker em pequenos grupos e envolveram-se na criação de histórias. Ficámos surpreendidos com o seu interesse pela atividade. No final, cada grupo apresentou a sua narrativa. Os alunos disseram ter gostado muito da atividade e destacaram os sons e as cores vivas como pontos positivos e atractivos do StoryMaker.

Doing research that relates to the problems of educational practice is the challenge of our time. I came here on a research visit to work with Dr. Cristina Sylla and Dr. Maitê Gil to see how it’s done at the narrative learning project “Mobeybou” here in Braga.
Originally from Germany, I am a doctoral candidate at the Free University of Bolzano, Italy. There I conduct an educational design research project called “Media Education with Kids through Interactive Digital Storytelling” (MEKIDS). My goal is to use digital storytelling to enable children to be creative and reflect on a variety of subjects. For that reason I am developing the “Fantastinomio”, a simple picture-based digital storytelling environment that can be customized by the teacher. During my stay we adapted the Fantatinomio to the needs of a Portuguese elementary school. After long periods of remote learning and lockdown teachers pointed out the urgency to create an intervention on social emotional learning. Children participated in the design process by creating all the drawings that equipped this particular version of the Fantastinomio. Overall I am surprised at how much we have managed to do in a few weeks. The collaboration with Mobeybou has taught me that research is most successful with enduring mutual relationships with schools, teachers and pupils. This is something I will give particular attention to on my return to Italy.
