City Park hosts cultural programming during the week
Art educators carry out activities from Monday to Thursday, dedicated to children and youth
Games, storytelling, clowning, dance circles, capoeira, and games that mix theater and imagination are part of the vacation colony program promoted by the Government of Pará at City Park in Belém. The activities are carried out during the week by the State Secretariat of Culture (Secult) and are mainly aimed at children and youth.
From Monday to Thursday, the park's spaces host actions led by art educators, who promote moments of interaction, imagination, and inclusion for people of all ages. The activities take place in the covered court and the amphitheater, among others.
The activities are coordinated by Cleber Cajun, an art educator with over 15 years of experience, trained in Visual Arts and Theater at the Federal University of Pará (UFPA) and with a background in social projects and popular education in health. He emphasizes that the proposal "is to create playful experiences that touch people's sensitivity."
"The activities are led by artists who work with words, bodies, laughter, and enchantment. The transversality of artistic languages can translate desires, anxieties, and joys. It is a great exercise in coexistence and democracy. We need art to live with dignity," Cajun adds.
