Cydney was awarded the 2024 Graduate School Engaged Scholarship Award awarded by the Graduate School at UGA for their project “Community-Based Theatre Workshops to Address Socioenvironmental Problems and Create Solutions.” Cydney developed the initiative in collaboration with Ivaneide do Carmo Ferreira, an employee of the Municipal Secretariat of Education, Science, Technology, and Innovation of Quixeramobim, Ceará (SECTI), in order to promote creative ways to collectively think through local water-related issues in Quixeramobim and create possible solutions to these challenges. Students from three rural elementary schools, three urban elementary schools, the adult education program, and the adult literacy program of Quixeramobim participated in community-based theatre workshops, during which they explored their everyday relations with water.
