Quando as ruas falam: histórias de vidas extraordinariamente reais

Abstract

This work presents the technical report of the process of elaboration of the book-report “When the streets speak: stories of extraordinarily real lives”, as a Course Completion Paper (TCC), of the Experimental Project type, for the Journalism course at the University Federal of Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN). The objective is to gather six stories of people living on the streets and/or socially vulnerable, assisted by the Shalom Amigo dos Pobres project, within the city of Natal, capital of Rio Grande do Norte. As a result, it highlights what is behind socially invisible lives and punctuates the challenges faced by this portion of society in the face of social inequality. Using Literary Journalism, the work also reflects the author's immersive process in the aforementioned reality, while it provokes reflections on this scenario.
