is aimed to be a space of mobilization and integration of knowledge, allowing the establishment of connections between content developed
in connection with the Educational Practice, since internship in a daycare setting will offer opportunities to identify problems and issues that
can be reflected in the depth within this seminar. The methodology articulates the theoretical and practical components allowing the

interdisciplinary intervention projects, and their respective analysis, discussion and reflection.
