The extension project "Praxis-Poiesis: everyday life, conviviality and nonconventional ways of life" associated to Occupational Therapy Department of Federal University of Paraná, arouse out of the need to create spaces for joint reflection-action about daily and capitalistic way of life, based on the affirmation of the diversity of life. Categorized in the thematic area Human Rights and Justice, it was aimed at professional occupational therapists from the services associated with the Courses and other interested parties; people linked to groups and collectives organized to defend rights and specific populations, such as homeless people, people with disabilities, users of mental health services, LGBTQIA , among others. The ideas of Lukács, Heller, Lefebvre, Certeau, Maffesoli, Latouche and Illich were adopted as a theoretical-conceptual perspective during the project experience. Narrative and participatory strategies and resources were used guided by a hermeneutic-dialectic approach. The 13 actions were carried out with a total of 146 participants. As a result, the participants reported greater proximity to nature and its rhythms, greater respect for the diversity of life and attitudes oriented to wellbeing in the common home. In addition, they identified the strategies and methodological resources used as replicable in their professional actions, in clinical-care, educational, cultural and socio-community contexts. As initially expected, the project collaborated with the critical-reflexive formation of the participants, the dialogical interaction between different groups and favored deepening the contents of activities and therapeutic's resources conducted by the project coordinators which cooperated with the implementation of the pedagogical project of Occupational Therapy Courses.
