In the first activity, called 'circuit of entrepreneurial skills', students learned about the values and made a autoavalição of their attitudes. "Entrepreneurship with the sport made me learn to be less competitive and more teamwork. I improved my creativity, I was a little shy, but I improved a lot from the course, "says the student Alvin Pereira, 11 years old. Then they created a sport, based on an existing one, and its rules in order to train and put into practice what has been decided in sport planning and in the end they organized a simulated championship.
"Throughout the development process of activities, retomávamos the concepts of the skills that were being developed," says Carla Zeltzer. The most important of this work is to get students to experience some situations and that are now applied on a daily basis, incorporated in their attitudes. "Just explain and demonstrate is not enough for the attitude become natural," he explains. "In addition, students in Volleyball Network project were more engaged and more interested, because the sport is already part of their daily lives," concludes Carla.
