In basil community, located next Brazilian GeoPark to join UNESCO, Geopark Project Seridó, there is a small chapel that keeps the story of a well. The well was built by a resident who was asking for aid to Father Cicero upon arriving at Juazeiro, municipality where is located the geosite Hill Garden Araripe Geopark.
So "Padin" sends the resident return and dig a pit to 40m from the door of her house, in the certainty that would water. Upon returning, the man digging the pit and the names like "Jacob's Well". The fact that spreads throughout the region and is now frequently visiting point, because in addition to being found under "mystical" circumstances, is 112 years ago without drying. At the time of counseling, Padre Cicero asked the resident who never deny water to those who ask, and it was done.
Those who visit the city of Cerro Korah, the Seridó region of Rio Grande do Norte, is faced with many natural beauties and with this religious attraction. And the curiosity among the two geoparks marks the cultural and religious dialogue that unites the two Geoparks even as far away geographically.

The National Forest Araripe (FLONA) was established on May 2, 1946, through Decree Law No. 9226, signed by President Eurico Gaspar Dutra, becoming recognized since then as the first national forest in Brazil. The protected area covers the municipalities of Ceará Barbalha, Crato, Jardim, Missão Velha and Santana do Cariri and is administered by the Chico Mendes Institute for Biodiversity Conservation (ICMBio).
The main goals of the "creation" of FLONA were:
· To contribute to the maintenance of biological diversity and genetic resources;
· Protect and provide means and incentives for scientific research activities, studies and environmental
monitoring of endangered species;
· Promoting sustainable development from the natural resources available;
· Protect and restore the water and soil resources;
· Enhancing economic and socially biological diversity.
On the occasion of the 70th birthday of the decree that recognized and formalized the objectives of this creation, Araripe GeoPark was represented by its Executive Secretary, Nivaldo Soares de Almeida.

The Tutorial Education Program (PET) is an institutionally program carried the Dean of Undergraduate the Federal University of Cariri (UFCA) and for groups of students who have an interest, skill and potential highlighted in the areas of design and webdesign. The program operates on graduation from the development of collective activities, interdisciplinary and involve research, teaching and extension. The program aims to promote the involvement of the group members for the multiplication of ideas and teaching practices. The promotion of education, research and extension is essential to the overall formation of the student, who should be able to perform actions that benefit all sectors of sociedade.Por these characteristics of PET, UFCA requested academic internship vacancy in the Geopark Araripe and the first result was the merger between the UNESCO marks with Araripe Geopark. This action was necessary because since December 2015, Geoparks in the world that formed the Global Geoparks Network (GGN) now represent the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).
PET trainees should also develop Stamp Commemorating 10 years Araripe and sign the visual arts of the Geopark exhibition on Pulses, which will take place in July this year, during the Fair of Crato Agricultural Exhibition (EXPOCRATO).
