Capoeira do Futuro - um projeto educativo "Capoeira is a very useful element in education and communication in that is uses the international languages of music and movement. It helps shape personalities through the development of physical and mental skills such as perception, reflexes, self-control, self-knowledge, respect and balance. Capoeira is not so much a goal as a way to get there. The lessons you learn playing capoeira in a “roda” you transfer to your personal life. A side from that, capoeira educates you to live and work within groups. A simple capoeira “roda” reflects a larger social micro-system. Master Garrincha		Capoeira nas escolas    Desde 1986, Mestre Garrincha se dedica à educação infantil através da capoeira. Criou o projeto infanto-juvenil Capoeira do Futuro, implantada em escolas como Ceat, Escola Parque e Grãozinho.    A idéia é educar através dos rituais da capoeira, com uma linguagem pedagógica, lúdica, alegre, comunicativa. “A capoeira puxa o potencial artístico da criança. Você cria o clima e ela se desenvolve.
		Capoeira is also an activity that expects from each one who participates the capacity to enjoy freedom in the sense of being free to act creatively with no pre-established rules. Within capoeira, there is a large space to create unconditionally because it is one of the few things in contemporary society that isn’t institutionalized. The richness of capoeira is the great diversity that still exists within. It is a great challenge to maintain this energy under the influence of capoeira: of the people that pass through, that know, learn and feel this energy.
