All registrations made within the established deadline will be considered and submitted to an electronic lottery, according to the rules announced by the university.
Children’s Literature Applied to Early Childhood Education
The course focuses on the use of children’s literature and storytelling as pedagogical tools when working with children aged 4 and 5 years.
The proposal is to present strategies for educators to use narratives and characters as support in addressing emotions present in the school environment, such as joy, sadness, fear, and anger.
According to the course description, the activity is based on the understanding that stories can serve as mediators in the process of listening and dialogue with children.
In this sense, the course aims to discuss practices that favor the identification and expression of feelings, integrating reading into the socioemotional development in Early Childhood Education.
Expected Methodologies and Practical Activities
The course programming includes participatory methodologies, with the realization of discussion groups and practical workshops.
Activities involving body expression, use of puppets, and analysis of case studies related to the school environment are also planned.
According to information provided by EACH-USP, these dynamics aim to stimulate the exchange of experiences among participants and reflection on situations experienced in daily classroom life.
The methodological proposal prioritizes the practical application of the contents discussed during the meeting.
When and Where the Course Will Be Held
The announced edition of the course will take place on January 28, 2026, in an intensive format.
The meeting will be held in person at the USP Leste campus, located in the neighborhood of Ermelino Matarazzo, in the city of São Paulo.
The activity is part of the programming of dissemination courses from the University of São Paulo, offered through the Apolo System, an institutional platform used for managing extension actions and complementary training.
Who Can Register and How the Certificate Works

The target audience includes educators in general and individuals interested in the subject, with no requirement for complete higher education as a prerequisite for registration.
To obtain the certificate, the university establishes a criterion of minimum attendance of 75% for the activity.
Since the course takes place in a single day, this requirement is related to participation throughout most of the scheduled program.
