Resumen
Facing the new scenario caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, many changes and adaptations
were necessary, both to mitigate the spread and to stop the increase in indicators of hospital bed
occupancy and the number of victims. The "new normal" set new ways of interacting socially,
as well as forced us to have strict health care due to the spread of the disease. As a result of the
new standards, many activities were adjusted to the new social context, anticipating some trends
such as the increase of remote working and the growth of remote lessons, leading private and
public institutions to adapt to the new circumstances. It is perceived that among different social
standards and social conditions, citizens living in communities in situations of socially
vulnerable (subnormal agglomerations) experienced substantial losses during the pandemic and
the access to education presented as one of the most serious problems. Aiming to reduce this
adversity, this Master's thesis analyzed how to adapt a psychopedagogical product developed
to be used by children among 6 and 11 years in social vulnerability in Morro do Papagaio, in
Belo Horizonte. This product aims to help to reduce the learning gap intensified by social
isolation. The literature review addressed concepts of Frugal Innovation destined to the Base of
the Pyramid (Bop), Social Innovation, Social Entrepreneurship, Social Technologies and Social
Design that join with the proposition of the solution, for meeting a social demand. The research
method used was qualitative-quantitative, descriptive and exploratory study, through the
application of a semi-structured questionnaire, using qualitative analysis to support the
discussion. The study suggests adaptations and presents a new model to be applied to the
community, considering the socioeconomic and cultural context, using the concept of business
destined to Bop, exceeding the pandemic timing period.
