recreating the world(s)

Created in 2007 , the project extension Itinerant Workshops : recreating the world ( s ) of the Catholic University of Minas Gerais , Campus Poços de Caldas is an inseparable experience in research of teaching and extension. With this title " recreating worlds " seek to express the experience that has been possible for us to live over the years of execution of this project . Our experience is theoretically referenced by understanding that German thinkers Meister Eckhart (1260-1327) and Martin Heidegger (1889-1976) shows us about what is the man in they on existence. Such an understanding is expressed in the phenomenon of serenity ( Gelassenheit ) , let it be understood as simply what we are . Our research on this phenomenon Gelassenheit (Serenity ) , guide the relationships we establish with the external community , where we understand that the existence of man in his essential condition , is a shared existence. The other is imposed on us and we never fail to be sympathetic to their fears and anxieties , because these same fears and anxieties are also ours possibilities . This relationship of consideration makes us all ( teachers , students , community) solidarity in our existential angst before the unexpected, the unknown . It is when we can see ourselves through another , in what we truly are and can be.
