The art of storytelling is a popular art, common in various human societies, in different historical moments. Its main features are the transmission of knowledge, skills, values and funs. This study investigates the role of this art in the construction of pleasant emotional environments, in different spaces. To complete this goal we present a record of the history of the storytelling art, its possible disappearance in modern society, due to the industrialization, to the shitf from rural to urban environment and the hegemony of written culture to the detriment of oral culture . It also presents the phenomenon of the resurgence of this art in the late XXth century, its new characteristics, its different territories, the subjects involved, and the new roles that art had completed in this postmodern society, technologic and computerized. Being a practice that values popular knowledge, the transformation of living environments, teaching and learning, also combating the oppression of the popular classes, the art of storytelling is inserted in the context of popular education, in tune with the new emancipatory paradigms, within the territories of Popular Education, especially in the territories of affectivity, of emocions and other rationales. To measure the effects of storytelling in the process of transformation and construction of pleasant emotional environments, a research was realized, in which the students of the Projeto de Extensão PalhaSUS Project from the UFPB, had been the main subject. Those students act as caregivers clowns in different social and emotionaly vulnerable spaces, such as hospitals, care homes, schools and nursing homes. Concomitant workshops, participants include in their caregivers acting the knowledge and skills acquired in the workshops. The evaluation process used was to make focal group, which fed with datas and allowed to analyse the results of this practice, with its possible developments and challenges.
