I started to think about the first time
that I understood that they lived in university

and in one of these conversations
corridor encountered the issues a
symbolic issue is the fact that
people study in the school of communication
and not talking
do not exchange with the people who
study at the school of fine arts where
has a visual communication course from
ufrj and this distance between
communication and communication
and lack of communication between
these two courses were mobilized
perfectly what we understood
as mismatches
I then went on my timeline
facebook and I decided what was the
meetings that have marked the last
five years since I joined the
university and the first thing I

and at that moment I understood that the
communication faculty that I was going to
do
it would not be just a college of
communication and if the
activism and communication

And then I understood that I could not be
so wrong when some
teachers started to mark the classes

and then I understood that maybe I had a
movement that was not so well
that we could occupy this space
and it was in the river as well that I

and it was by my river that I lived perhaps
some of the most striking encounters of my
life as the encounter with the fathers and mothers
teachers and students of the municipal school
friedenreich
I also do not know that who knows the
history of this school but she in 2002
It was the fourth best school in the River one
of the country’s best schools a project
incredible teaching is one of the few
schools that served students with
special needs
and this school is she is
it was in these peace in these mothers in these
students that we encountered a

would find for a year and a half

commitment and organization that these
children and their parents and teachers
We gave the class of the manu that

a crazy thing is in a
of these very striking encounters that live
and the mobilization classes of the

one of the biggest strikes we’ve ever had
the last three of 14 years and I
I consider it was 102 days of strike and I
I can say with ease that this
It was a good strike and I say that it was
a good strike because it was a strike

that they did not talk much in the
but they were doing good things
it’s interesting
at the same time it is during this strike
while we are organizing the
party of the candidate in 2012
we also occupied with several
collective of social movements
the canecão that is a space that is
public that ufrj is and has performed shows
and events and exchanges
in there I had never lived in
no other place is the canecão that is
this space of so many meetings of the
city ​​and is considered an asset of the
City
but so abandoned by the mismatches
justice and social
bureaucratic issues that we have today in
political decisions
We arrive in June 2013 and maybe
one of the moments I found in the
streets opinions so different is and
same space on the same street in
same avenue
people who thought of a country project
of extreme bets were gathered there
and certainly one of the most
potentiality complexity that I could
to be present and was not one
difference of political opinions
differences have also emerged over how
act and how we will achieve these
changes
and it was there at that moment that I understood
that the will to make a
faculty of communication activism
I had there in Spain and I would do it.
all the way to me I was
making perfect sense to me and was
that we created in the laboratory of
UFRJ communication activism
the lab made by students created
with students like érika and cadu are

helped to get it off the ground and
signed by teachers like Marie who

the difficulty and complexity of

is trying to get the answer to
some of those questions which
meaning of the word
meeting how to create good meetings and
how to make university a place –
found is the first thing I
I understood and that’s why I asked those questions.
in the beginning is that if we do not

study
we will hardly know the
incentives that inhabit it
just as we do not circulate in the
city ​​where we live
we stay forever on the center axis

different answers have been

meanwhile the moment to share
ideas, values ​​and purposes and
emotions is and where the contact is
often with different
agents they both avoids tightening
these conversations I tried to ask
behind people what are the ingredients
for a good meeting to build a
good meeting is listening to words like
empathy that once there was a
significant empathy that is not
