Rcarried out by Pedro Cruz and João Doce, and entitled ‘My heart is there, my body is here’ [O meu coração está lá, o meu corpo está aqui]the film tells the “hard” story of a group of people with refugee status.
“The body is here, in Portugal, but the heart is still there, in the land they were forced to abandon”, reads the description of the documentary, made following the TEACHmi project of the Observatory of Citizenship and Social Intervention (OCIS) of the Faculty of Psychology and Educational Sciences at the University of Coimbra (FPCEUC).
The protagonists of the future are busy as stories — past, present and society of the people involved in the European TEACHmi project, which often do not come to the attention of the rest of society. a consortium integrated by FPCEUC and whose objective was to provide tools, teaching materials and more specific guidelines for the integration of students of migrant origin, schools of materials or inclusive school environments”.
“The film lives, above all, from the extreme generosity, which accepts to tell as their stories, as well as the three-dimensionality and but also the voice for media waves, as we are witnessing again in 2022 [face à guerra na Ucrânia]argued, in turn, João Doce, musician and social worker, filmmaker and psychologist Pedro Cruz, authors of the documentary.
Both founded Cooperativa Propella, which co-produced the film with the University of Coimbra.
The TEACH TEACH mi thought, at the European level, was from the Erasmus program in which migrants point to the base themselves in which they are designed for the inclusion of projects within the projects and for the projects aimed at the inclusion of the projects.
In this context, “education is assumed as an instrument of social integration”, said Clara Cruz Santos, coordinator of the Portuguese team of TEACHmi, which also includes the investigated Ana Cristina Almeida, Ana Paula Couceiro, Helena Reis Amaro da Luz and Vanessa Nunes.
Professors from the FPCUC and investigators from the OCIS also appear, in addition to the documentary that presents “faces and voices that are not normally heard in social and scientific intervention”.
“They humanize numbers and theoretical concepts in real young people who are right here, by our side, in Coimbra. The humanization of science is fundamental and the documentary resource has an unequivocal force”, underlined Clara Cruz Santos.
