A convite da Secretaria de Educação do Rio de Janeiro, da UNESCO e da Companhia Foz Águas 5, desenvolvemos um projeto de capacitação de professores na zona oeste do Rio. Em parceria com a ASAP, promovemos a troca de práticas inovadoras em sala de aula e conduzimos uma formação em criação de jogos colaborativos baseada na metodologia Game Thinking — que une gamificação, desenvolvimento ágil e Design Thinking para criar experiências mais envolventes e resultados mais eficazes.
Invited by the Rio de Janeiro Department of Education, UNESCO, and Foz Águas 5, we developed a teacher training project in the city’s west zone. In partnership with ASAP, we fostered the exchange of innovative classroom practices and led a training program on creating collaborative games based on the Game Thinking methodology — a blend of gamification, agile development, and Design Thinking, focused on delivering more engaging experiences and more effective outcomes.
Junto aos educadores, cocriamos jogos que disseminam conhecimento de forma lúdica, divertida e com impacto também na comunidade.
Cocriação de Jogos Educativos – Foz Águas 5, UNESCO e Secretaria de Educação do Rio de Janeiro
Contexto
Com a concessão do abastecimento de água e saneamento da Zona Oeste do Rio de Janeiro, a Foz Águas 5 precisou realizar grandes obras de infraestrutura. As intervenções, embora necessárias, geraram desconforto à população local. Para conscientizar sobre a importância dessas mudanças e seus benefícios futuros, a empresa, em parceria com a UNESCO e a Secretaria de Educação, buscou um projeto que aproximasse a comunidade dessa transformação.
Desafio
O desafio era criar uma ação capaz de engajar professores, alunos e famílias, disseminando informações técnicas sobre saneamento de forma leve, lúdica e significativa.
Resultado
Em parceria com a ASAP, conduzimos uma capacitação em Game Thinking com professores da rede pública da Zona Oeste, unindo gamificação, design thinking e desenvolvimento ágil. O projeto aconteceu em três ondas, formando diversas turmas e resultando em mais de 15 jogos colaborativos sobre saneamento. Esses jogos serviram como instrumento educacional e de conscientização para os professores e, posteriormente, para as crianças que jogaram e levaram esse aprendizado para suas casas. A iniciativa percorreu escolas da região em uma unidade móvel, alcançando milhares de alunos e fomentando colaboração, cocriação e transformação social.
Co-Creation of Educational Games – Foz Águas 5, UNESCO, and Rio de Janeiro Department of Education
Context
With the concession of water supply and sanitation in Rio de Janeiro’s West Zone, Foz Águas 5 had to carry out major infrastructure works. While essential, these interventions caused discomfort due to disruptions and construction. To raise awareness of their importance and highlight the long-term benefits of a modern sanitation system, the company partnered with UNESCO and the Department of Education to create a project that could bring the community closer to this transformation.

Result
In partnership with ASAP, we delivered Game Thinking training for public school teachers in the West Zone, combining gamification, design thinking, and agile development. The project unfolded in three waves, engaging several groups and resulting in over 15 collaborative games on sanitation. These games became an educational and awareness tool first for teachers and later for children, who not only played but also carried this knowledge back to their homes. The initiative toured schools in a mobile unit, reaching thousands of students while fostering collaboration, co-creation, and social transformation.
