Winners
In the Companies category, the winner was Ateliê Cata-Ventos, from Rio de Janeiro, with the participatory education project in early childhood education. “We understand that children are ready beings. What she can do today is what she can do. Early childhood lasts forever. It is during this period that values are planted and the most expensive bonds are formed”, said pedagogical coordinator Rachel Pepe Reis. She asked the Judiciary that teachers be taken into consideration in discussions about public policies. “The first place children go is to school. And they need support to deal with the children's baggage, who, despite being small, are full of emotional and family problems, insecurities and family expectations. The school works with the pedagogy of listening. Listen to the schools,” he said.
In second place, Nossa Senhora Preschool, also known as Envolve, was awarded the initiative “My, your, our feelings”, in São Paulo. Thirdly, the Applik Vaccination Clinic, in Primavera do Leste (MT), with a project to humanize and manage pain when administering vaccines.

The PIM has existed since 2003, but began to be applied to the prison population in 2012. With the advent of the Legal Framework for Early Childhood, in 2016, it also began to serve the extended family of prisoners. “Our concern is with children in vulnerable situations. We serve a large number of families, but we can still grow. We are concerned that the number of prisoners has also been rising in recent years, but we are privileged to work on a transformative project, which can bring hope for the future of children”, he claimed.
