Paidéia Associação Cultural

Paidéia Cultural Association was founded in 1994 by Amauri Falseti and Aglaia Pusch, after years developing cultural activities in collaboration with non-governmental organizations in southern São Paulo. In these institutions, located in regions lacking social and cultural efforts, they felt the work with theatre had had an auxiliary role. In order to change this reality was Paidéia created. 
They shared a different understanding: that art itself could fulfill possibilities not responded by social work, which has specific purposes. With experience gathered through all those years, they realized that the development and the emancipation of youth taking part in cultural programs perform an effective change. After having occupied different places throughout southern São Paulo, since 2006 Paidéia has been in the place it named Culture Collector´s Yard, a place in constant transformation.
