Abstract

As the poet Manoel de Barros (1989, p. 58) once said, “the most insignificant things give me ideas.” It is precisely from this that we draw appreciation, for we understand childhood not merely as one of the stages of life, but also as a state to which we can return and even practice in our daily lives. In this sense, both adults and children can recognize themselves in a state of childhood. The poet’s literature is a portal. We began from our participation in the Teaching Initiation Project (PIBID) – Literacy Subproject (Pedagogy/UFPR), proposing a workshop held during the Teaching, Research, and Extension Week of the Education Sector at the university (SEPE, 2025), with the academic community, which is the focus of this report. A timely moment now recalled. A “pastpresent” whose proposal continues to be the suspension of daily tasks and, in that pause, to feel everyday life differently, aiming to weave into our educational practices imaginative possibilities as marks conducive to creation—allowing ourselves to be crossed by a shared experience, desiring other times in our living conditions, each of us and all together—crafting invented objects and fanzines under the poetics of childhood, toward which we walked on that cold autumn morning in Curitiba.
