VADO was born in 1999 and is linked to the Sports for Citizenship Program, of the Department of Physical Education and Human Motricity (DEFMH) of the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar) and has as its general objective education for and for leisure of children and adolescents, resident in the city of São Carlos, in the interior of the state of São Paulo, Brazil. VADO’s actions are based on the framework of Human Motricity, Ecology of Knowledge and Motricities of the South. By analyzing the research carried out, it was possible to understand the diversity of experiences, highlighting the different experiences, the potential for dialogue, the perceptions of the world in intersubjectivity with others and with the motricities of the South.
