The Mitologando Project and the communication of knowledge

The extension project "Mitologando", coordinated by Professor Katia Teonia (UFRJ), arises from the need to explore the vast literary corpus of classical antiquity, aiming to deepen children and young people's understanding of the ancient world and its implications in contemporary times. Inspired by the research of the FABULA group on the reception of classical antiquity in children's and youth literature, Mitologando promotes interaction and reflection through practices such as storytelling and literary mediation. Additionally, it establishes partnerships with other extension projects, strengthening their extension actions and contributing to greater visibility of initiatives in the academic and social spheres. These collaborations reflect the shared commitment to university extension guidelines, highlighting the inseparability between teaching, research, and extension, as well as their impact on student formation and society.
