UM Núcleo de intergeracionalidade na arte e na educação

Abstract

This article begins its introduction with a personal journey paved on an educational structure and the enchantment of art.  It has the purpose to address the aspects of the research in the course of the Extension Program – An Artistic Dance Research Center, offered by FAP – UNESPAR, which in my view  provides an interesting intergenerational  perspective . As a member of the program, I developed some perceptions  through experiences and reflections with students, former students , master degrees students, doctoral degrees students , music and dance teachers, professors, from Paraná Arts College , a group known as “A Nucleus”, founded 35 years ago  by the Unespar Dance  Course Committee.  The resulting of the reflection-action-research, brings up some topics dealing with the inevitable  aging process of the teachers and artists concerning on  hidden confluences and divergences not discussed in the social spaces among aging adults culture  and Young students . It evokes perceptions on the role of reminiscences and the bond regarding to intra and intergenerational.  Through data collected in the theoretical research , it was possible to acknowledge that an intergerational group is a place for sharing self-knowledge and participative inclusion. Glimpses of intra and intergenerational bridges and walls arise, but there’s no way to measure effective results. There’s recognition that education and art can and should act as mediators on generational exchanges. It also shows the possibility of the consolidation of ethical values and appreciation on building of collective knowledge.
