Festival De Inverno Da Ufpr

The present text intends to describe the methodologic paths of the Project named “Tempo de Brincar na Praça”, (“Time to Play in the Square”), developed in the city of Antonina during the 15th Winter Festival of the Universidade Federal do Paraná, Brazil, in 2005. This project reached local public school teachers and approximately 300 children aged 6-14 on a daily basis. Coordinated by teachers from the Department of Physical Education and aided by CEPEL/UFPR scholarship students, this activity was consolidated as a university extension project with practical actions in the range of leisure and education. Considering leisure as a form of culture – taken in its broadest sense – to be lived (practiced or enjoyed) in a hard-won time, some contents of body culture have been developed, broadened, and transformed. KEYWORDS: Education – Leisure – Culture
