"The Elephant in this story has unique characteristics that make it different from all other elephants, namely, having camel skin. How will the other animals treat it? And how will the Elephant in Camel Skin feel in this jungle that is life?"

Based on creative processes with community groups - in close connection with environmental issues - and using artistic tools, namely: body expression, illustration and writing, the collective “Poesia no Corpo. Corpo na Poesia”, made up of citizens (children, young people and adults) set out to create a story, using a metaphor, whose main character is the Elephant. In many literary sources, the Elephant symbolizes: wisdom, persistence, determination, solidarity, sociability, friendship, companionship and memory.
