Activities from July to December 2021
The return of activities had as a primordial condition the fulfillment of a protocol conceived by a multidisciplinary team of seven analysts from Gol de Letra, who may be monitoring the situation of vulnerability of the families and clients.
The workshops had face-to-face feedback as follows:
• Sports workshops;
• Maximum of 10 students per class;
• Lessons reduced to 45 minutes;
• Sanitation of spaces and materials used at the beginning, breaks, and end of classes;
• Spaces equipped with sanitization points with alcohol in a gel, signage with directions and controlled flow with temperature measurement;
• Mandatory use of a mask to enter and remain in the institution;
• Demarcated spaces to ensure social distance;
• We will not have workshops in closed spaces;
Activities related to team and/or contact sports were rethought and adapted to maintain social distance. Therefore, each student had their material to carry out the practices proposed by the educators. The games and fights took place in an adapted way, focusing on the practice of movements and fundamentals of each modality, performed individually or with as much distance as possible in the games. The adapted activities offered at the NED-Núcleo Esporte e Desenvolvimento were also broadcast online, enabling the participation of students who could not participate in the activities in person.
The assistance provided by the Social Service team maintains a face-to-face shift for emergency actions and prioritizes remote family assistance. Routine appointments will be scheduled by appointment to avoid crowding.
The Gol de Letra Foundation team, together with specialist consultants, continue to monitor the situation of the epidemic and carry out studies and risk risks to adjust the protocol to the needs of the moment, always mandatory to maintain the safety and protection of the team, of those assisted and of your family members.
We emphasize that the adaptations were aimed at ensuring the safety and health of everyone, and that they were aligned with the scope of the approved project and that they did not harm the fulfillment of the project's object or its goals.
In September, depending on the indicators of the pandemic, it was possible to return with face-to-face activities in 04 schools, and with online activities in 02 partner schools of Fundação Gol de Letra.
