With the participation of 300 people from the Bento Rodrigues School community (Students, Teachers, School Staff and family members), the project was carried out through workshops for students and training for professionals. This year, the theme chosen by the school was “Living Mariana”, a recovery of the city’s history. As a result of the activities carried out in the classroom, on this day an event was held on the school grounds, which included an exhibition of students' work and presentations of plays based on the content studied. The “Bento” project: Past, present and future” has been carried out since the collapse of the Fundão dam and seeks to give new meaning to the event. This year, the project worked on connecting students with the community through the history of the municipality Mariana, from the colonial period to the present day.
