PROJECT PERCUSSUCATA
Welcome!
The Percussucata Project was born from the desire of socio-environmental educators to contribute to the development of ecological individuals who favor preserving planet Earth.
Pedagogical Tool:
The Percussucata Project aims to raise awareness among students, teachers, and school communities about their importance in building a society rooted in a sustainable way of life.
It promotes concrete actions to raise awareness about the pollution caused by household waste produced by each family, as well as fostering an understanding that involves every citizen in the processes of recycling and the social inclusion of Recyclable Material Collectors and Street Sweepers.
Mission, Vision, Commitment...
The Percussucata Project is a cultural and educational tool in favor of environmental preservation and, consequently, life. Since 2007, it has combined music, citizenship, and environmental education to build ecological individuals in elementary school students.
It is an eco-art-educational initiative by Professor, Musician, Environmentalist, and Writer Marcelo Capucci, along with activist collaborators.
Socio-environmental Literature
Written by Marcelo Capucci (creator of Percussucata) and journalist Marcos Linhares, "Faço, Separo, Transformo..." won the ILBA - International Latino Book Awards in the category *Best Children's Picture Book in Portuguese (Originally in Portuguese)* in 2016. The third edition of the work features illustrations by Juliano Batalha and is published by Tagore Editora. Made possible through sponsorship from SYSTECH, the book has paradidactic characteristics that bring socio-environmental references supported by the BNCC (National Common Curricular Base).
Environmental Details of the Editorial Production of the Book
– The cover, printed on FSC-certified paper, bears the Forest Stewardship Council®️ (FSC®️) label, ensuring that the paper comes from responsibly managed forests that meet environmental, social, and economic criteria.
– The illustration on the cover is coated with an organic resin, guaranteeing that no plastic surface comprises the work.
– The entire interior is printed on Recycled Paper, which promotes a lower environmental impact compared to conventional paper. Mainly, because it is produced with recycled fibers, usually from pre or post-consumer waste. This means that fewer trees are cut down, and there is a reduction in water and energy consumption during the manufacturing process.
– The ink used for printing texts and illustrations, RAPIDA ECO (Huber Group), is ecologically correct because it is produced from sunflower oil, free from cobalt-based drying agents, imported from Germany, and bears the label Printed With Organic Ink.
General Objective of the Action
To deliver multimedia socio-environmental lectures that promote, through music and literature, sustainable awareness among teachers and students in the face of the challenges encountered in solid waste management.
