Classes will take place at Theatro Victória from 9 AM to 1 PM.
Sustainability - The workshop "Art and Sustainability with Plastic Reuse" will address the fusion between sustainability and fashion through the reuse of plastic to create fabrics and accessories, such as shoes, bags, and hair ornaments. This approach, known as upcycling, reduces dependence on fossil resources, decreases CO₂ emissions, and minimizes waste in landfills, promoting the circular economy and encouraging creativity in the fashion industry.
Sustainability and economy will also be the focus of the course "Creative Economy and Sustainability," which aims to establish a relationship between the cultural production of the region and the cultural economy or creative economy policy from the perspective of enabling cultural makers and artists to identify opportunities for income generation and work in the cultural sector.
At the João Fona Cultural Center, there will be a workshop "Making Handmade Books as Creative Writing" which aims to present a new perspective on this object through the creation and experimentation with the materiality and some structural possibilities of this book, proposing a dialogue between written creation and the construction of book-objects.
Inclusion - At the Prof. Emir Hermes Bemerguy Arts School, there will be an Inclusive Dance workshop for different audiences. From 2 PM to 5 PM, for people aged 12 and up with or without dance experience. And from 6 PM to 9 PM, the course will target educators.
The classes will be taught by teacher Jeniffer Soares, an instructor and choreographer of Jazz dance, inclusive dance, modern dance, and paradance (wheelchair dance). She emphasizes that "the activity seeks to promote access to the art of movement for people with and without disabilities, respecting the singularities of each body and expanding the horizons of artistic expression in the Amazon region."
Meeting with Managers - The FCP Por Todo Pará program also includes the "Meeting with Public Managers and Parliamentarians (EGPP)." The event is in its fourth edition, strengthening the actions of the Cultural Foundation of the State of Pará in the area of books, reading, and libraries, through dialogue with municipal managers to strengthen and reopen public libraries.
