here are some notes we took about the ideas you gave us! we think the most interesting idea and the one that speaks the most to us is Furkan's card game. we really enjoyed the concept of cards with prompts that instigate conversation. also, we think it's the most visual-oriented suggestion, especially with the continuous line with different textures on the cards - such a great idea! would there be an "end" to this game? a winner and losers? or is it going to continue on this line of only "ice-breaker" cards?we also talked about our tradition here in brazil with the "chimarrão" (a kind of tea) - a moment when we sit in a circle and share a cup of it with our family - that is being lost throught the generations. maybe you could explore this idea of sharing a meal or some drink while playing it! we would really like to see what you guys come up with on this project!

hi! last thursday, we had our first meeting! took the worst screenshot, my bad! during the meeting, we talked about a game, made by an ex-student of ufrgs that its main pourpose is to create strong bonds between an older and younger generation. here is the link: https://www.luisafonseca.design/e-como-diz-o-ditado we also talked about sending dem:atelier a little explanation about rodas de chimarrão: Chimarrão is a traditional drink from southern Brazil, made by pouring hot (but not boiling) water over erva-mate leaves in a hollowed gourd called a cuia. It’s drunk through a metal straw, the bomba, which filters the leaves. Sharing chimarrão is a social ritual. People often sit in a circle — known as a roda de chimarrão — and pass the cuia from one person to the next, each taking a turn before returning it to the person who prepares it. It’s considered a moment of connection, hospitality, and unhurried conversation. Among older generations, it’s very common to drink chimarrão in the late afternoon. Families, neighbors, or friends gather to talk about their day, relax, and enjoy the slow rhythm of the tradition. It’s less about the drink itself and more about the warmth and community that come with sharing it. loved to meet you all :)
