Project brings reading incentive to public schools in the interior of Paraíba
Rio de Janeiro, August 25th, 2025 – In August, September, and October, schools in the municipal network of four cities in the central region of Paraíba will receive the cultural project Estante de Histórias, which consists of a personalized bookshelf themed around children’s literature and filled with a collection of over 100 new books and comics. The initiative is sponsored by EDF power solutions, developer of the Serra do Seridó Wind Farm, through the Federal Law of Incentive to Culture, and is produced by VR Projetos.
In the physical structure of the shelf, the top part includes a box for finger puppets, a curtain, and bases to turn the shelf into a little theater. A carpet for outdoor activities and personalized bags for children to take books home and read with their families are also included. In addition to the physical collection, books for online reading will be available for free through the website www.projetoestantedehistorias.com.br.
The students from the schools benefited in the municipalities of Junco do Seridó, Assunção, Santa Luzia, and Salgadinho will participate in storytelling sessions, which will be held until the month of October, using the materials that make up the bookshelf.
In addition, to complete the activities proposed by the project, teachers from the region of Junco do Seridó participated in the online workshop “Reflections on Reading Mediation and Storytelling.” During the event, topics such as children’s literature, literature as a support tool in the classroom, how to encourage reading, as well as tips and activities for professionals to implement with students were discussed. The workshop was taught by the teacher, author, and storyteller, Marô Barbieri.
“We believe that access to quality education and culture is essential for building a more just, inclusive, and sustainable future. Supporting the Estante de Histórias project reflects our commitment to social development in the regions where we operate — such is the case of Paraíba, which is home to our Serra do Seridó Wind Farm. We are certain that investing in education is also investing in transformation and opportunities for future generations,” emphasizes Veronica Vara, vice president of EDF power solutions.
