The implementation of the workshop, designed within the framework of a volunteer project promoted by the University Policies Secretary, had the objective of proposing a physical recreational space, in which caregivers could meet with their children and other families. This space fostered pleasure and affective contact to reflect on issues linked to upbringing and the processes of embodiment during this pivotal stage of life, where the foundations of the subjective constitution are laid. We found it important to propose this workshop from the field of social and community health, in intersectoral articulation between health and education within the district of La Matanza (Province of Buenos Aires), as a preventive-educational space, not therapeutic or medicalizing. This allowed us to accompany psychomotor development and embodiment processes along with the possibility of valuing popular, ancestral knowledge and collective ways of playing and practicing health, within the framework of the recognition of diversities and comprehensive care of the childhoods.
