The “The Art of Birth” Project, developed by CEPS Anita Garibaldi, was one of the five winners of the “Projects That Work Competition”, promoted by Foundation for Advancement of International Medical Education and Research (FAIMER).

The Art of Birth is an intervention project in the area of maternal and child health, integrating teaching-research-extension actions aimed at the humanization of care and comprehensive care for pregnant women using the CEPS Anita Garibaldi, through the carrying out of playful activities involving art in its different manifestations. This is a successful interprofessional education strategy, covering students from medicine, psychology, physiotherapy and law courses at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte.

In September 2015, the award-winning project “The Art of Birth” was presented at the Bambanani 2015 Working Together Congress, in Gauteng, South Africa. Three other CEPS works were also presented at the meeting that discussed solutions in health and education: “Prevention of mother-to-child transmission of infectious diseases: improving care during prenatal in Macaíba City, Rio Grande do Norte”, “Breaking barriers- improving access to health care among black women in north-eastern Brazil”, and “The art of being born - maternal health program improving communication skills and community engagement in medicine”.
