WHO HAS ALREADY PARTICIPATED IN THE PROJECT WITH US

Thaiza Gribel– scholarship holder of the Sarandira Criativa-UFJF project

Long live Sarandira! I feel honored and very happy to have known their characters up close and to have contributed to enhance so many beautiful stories. Suzana and Professor Bruno's effort to record and praise Sarandira in different spheres is commendable because it captured the essence of this village: a place of people proud of their land and customs (and with good reason!).

Nayara Martins– scholarship holder of the Sarandira Criativa-UFJF project

Contemplating the sunset from the top of the church of Nossa Senhora do Livramento, listening to the always cordial good morning / good afternoon / good night from the locals, observing the starry sky. It's those small and big moments that seem to be forgotten or go unnoticed in the "big city" that make the difference in our day. Life is about the seconds lived and not about those that pass on the clock. 1h and 30 minutes is the time I spend from Juiz de Fora to Sarandira. 1h and 30 minutes is the time I gain from the hustle and bustle to calm.

Elias Arruda– scholarship holder of the Sarandira Criativa project - UFJF

After more than a year of work I was able to verify what they had told me: the essence of the district is in the charisma and in welcoming people. Few were the places I had the privilege of arriving without knowing anything and leaving knowing a new world. Sarandira is a world apart, and residents need to realize that. Rare are the places where everyone knows each other, respects each other and lives in harmony. From Sarandira I want to take simplicity and the will to build an ever better society.

Prof. Dr. Bruno Fuser- coordinator of the project “Sarandira Criativa: community communication and citizenship in a rural district of Juiz de Fora” - Faculty of Communication - UFJF

Post-doctor in social communication, he developed the community communication project in Sarandira, coordinating the fellows since April 2015.
