PERSPECTIVES ON EDUCATION IN FEDERAL INSTITUTES: challenges for the exercise of citizenship
This article discusses the meanings attributed to the educational process by teachers and young students at a Federal Institute of Education, Science, and Technology. The research was conducted using an ethnographic approach, including interviews with young students and focus groups with teachers. Professionals identify challenges such as the lack of dialogic spaces and alignment between institutional identity and teaching practice, which was consistent with the strong presence, in the narrative of students, of learning with a focus on the job market. These aspects showed the tension between neoliberal readings of the educational process and the institutional mission of guaranteeing rights and citizenship.
The history of the sexuality league (LIS/UFTM-2010-2020)
Academic League refers to a group of students and professors who, together, develop teaching, research and extension actions according to a certain theme. Therefore, the objective of this study is to report the actions developed by the Liga de Sexualidade between the years 2010 and 2020. For this, a survey was carried out, in which its general objective was to create a documentary collection of the Liga de Sexualidade da UFTM (LiS/ UFTM), from its inception in 2010 to 2020. Its specific objectives consistedof organizing the league's documents; identify historical elements present in its constitution; describe the projects carried out in each administration and possible impacts on the beneficiary populations; investigate the relationship between student coordinators and professors regarding the planning and execution of activities; and contribute to the planning of current and future activities. To this end, documentary sources and oral sources were articulated through interviews with former teaching and student coordinators/coordinators. As a result, it was possible to collect a large amount of data and verify the importance of a historiographical research focused on extension programs –which can consider this research as a model. It was verified the importance of the articulation between documentary and oral sources, the documentation of the actions due to its relation with the memory of the oral sources and the emergence of the hybrid model as a possibility for the future.

“Tech? Pop? Tudo?” Debating pesticides, chemistry and health in an inclusive extension action
This work presents an extension action involving the topic of pesticides. This theme has been extensively developed, both in teaching and extension activities. However, the differential of the action reported here is that it was all planned to be accessible to the deaf and blind communities, working in a dialogic and critical way (according to Paulo Freire) the Brazilian agricultural development model, especially the intensive use of pesticides. From the documentary “Nuvens de Veneno”, accessible materials were created: Libras window in the documentary; chemical structures of the active ingredients printed in 3D and in high relief with inscriptions in Braille and audio-described; and a printed and audio-described leaflet, contextualizing the problems caused to the environment, human and animal health. All this material was used during the activity at the National Science and Technology Week. The action was carried out both in a booth during the event, at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, and in the territory of a state school, during classes of chemistry of six high school classes. During the two days of exhibition at the stand, the activity generated interest from a wide range of audiences, from elementary school children, teachers - who took their classes - as well as a group of deaf students. In the school's territory, the activity moved the classes in a strong way, working on the chemistry of pesticides, social and environmental concerns, including refugee students, with intellectual disabilities, autism and cognitive and intellectual disorders.

CLUBE DE CIÊNCIAS: A IMPORTÂNCIA DA EXTENSÃO UNIVERSITÁRIA NA FORMAÇÃO DOCENTE DE GRADUANDOS DE LICENCIATURA EM QUÍMICA
O uso de espaços não formais de aprendizagem para o Ensino de Ciências pode ser feito por meio de clubes que visam à discussão de temas com caráter científico. Os clubes de ciências acabam se tornando benéficos tanto para os alunos participantes, os quais passam por um processo de construção e assimilação científica, quanto para a formação inicial docente, uma vez que o uso dessa metodologia alternativa pode contribuir para a sua futura atuação em sala de aula. Desse modo, este trabalho disserta acerca das experiências vividas por graduandos do curso de Licenciatura em Química, enquanto bolsistas do PIBID, destacando a sua atuação como organizadores e monitores das atividades de um Clube de Ciências para alunos do Ensino Fundamental II de uma escola pública. Nessa proposta, com presença facultativa, promoveram-se discussões sobre os temas presentes no cotidiano, relacionando os conhecimentos prévios dos alunos com novos conceitos desenvolvidos. Já no que se refere à formação inicial dos graduandos, percebeu-se que uma prática docente eficiente não está relacionada exclusivamente com o uso de um laboratório e atividades experimentais, mas também na qualidade de abordagem dos conteúdos pedagógicos e pelas discussões promovidas, de forma a se buscar uma contextualização maior significação dos conceitos utilizados.

“O PREÇO DO PRECONCEITO NOS ‘COUROS’”: (DES)CONSTRUÇÕES ACERCA DA EDUCAÇÃO SEXUAL NA ESCOLA
A Educação Sexual constitui um processo contínuo e planejado que abrange distintas abordagens e metodologias acerca de sexualidade, corpo e gênero. Este trabalho engloba relatos de um projeto de extensão desenvolvido com cerca de 206 estudantes do Ensino Fundamental e Ensino Médio em três escolas da rede pública (uma municipal e duas estaduais) do Ceará, que teve como principal objetivo incorporar a Educação Sexual numa perspectiva sociocultural, nos currículos escolares e acadêmicos, por meio de ações pedagógicas que ultrapassam as abordagens biológico-higienistas. As estratégias didático-metodológicas utilizadas nos 15 encontros foram grupos focais organizados em minicursos, oficinas de zines, problematização de artefatos culturais, jogos e rodas de conversas acerca das temáticas da Educação Sexual. Os/as estudantes tiveram a oportunidade de expor opiniões, dúvidas e sugerir temas para serem debatidos. Assim, evidenciamos a necessidade de discutir, de modo contínuo e sistemático, essas temáticas na escola, instigando os/as alunos/as a desconstruírem preconceitos e discriminações acerca das identidades e diferenças sexuais e de gênero.
PROJETO ECO EMBAIXADOR AMBIENTAL: PRÁTICAS PARA A SUSTENTABILIDADE
Os temas Meio Ambiente e Educação Ambiental são cobrados e enfatizados nas leis e documentos da educação de base para integrar padrões sustentáveis na vida humana. Diante da problemática dos resíduos plásticos poluidores do ambiente terrestre e aquático, juntamente com o comportamento não sustentável dos alunos da escola EEB XV de Junho, como sujar, depredar e o usar copos descartáveis, este trabalho objetivou a conscientização dos discentes a realizarem e participarem de situações relevantes para a prática da Educação Ambiental. O projeto durou seis meses e foi realizado nas turmas do 6º ano I e 7º ano II. O aluno representante “Eco Embaixador Ambiental” monitorava as ações insustentáveis da sala e fazia um relatório semanal para o professor. Também foram confeccionados 100 copos retornáveis resultando na redução de 11,55% no consumo dos copos descartáveis. Toda semana três alunos eram sorteados pelo representante da sala e apresentavam uma ideia de melhoria ambiental. Um ponto de coleta de óleo foi instalado na escola para a destinação adequada deste resíduo. Notou-se pequenas mudanças no comportamento dos alunos e uma barreira entre o aprender na escola e aplicar em casa. Eles sabem quando praticam as ações insustentáveis, tentam mudar, mas esta mudança é lenta e comprometida diante das ações contrárias do cotidiano deles. É um constante construir na escola e desconstruir em casa. Espera-se que este trabalho possa contribuir para que as ações sustentáveis possam ser internalizadas e se tornem rotina em suas vidas. Palavras-chaves: Educação Ambiental, Ensino de Ciências, Meio Ambiente, Sustentabilidade.

A CORREÇÃO DE FLUXO NA PROPOSTA PEDAGÓGICA DA REDE MUNICIPAL DE ENSINO DE PAULO LOPES/SC
Este artigo se propõe a discutir a concepção de correção de fluxo que se encontrava na proposta pedagógica da Rede Municipal de Ensino de Paulo Lopes/SC até 2017. Logo, o objetivo central do artigo é analisar por meio de pesquisa bibliográfica e documental o processo de ensino-aprendizagem na Classe de Correção de Fluxo concernente à Proposta da Rede Municipal em questão. Os resultados da pesquisa nos mostram que apesar de a iniciativa se basear na melhoria dos indicativos de aprendizagem e acolher aqueles estudantes que não se adaptaram ao ensino regular, os recursos orçamentários e a formação adequada dos trabalhadores em educação para tornar esse programa significativo ainda se mostravam ineptos.
DESENHO TÉCNICO E PERCURSOS PEDAGÓGICOS SIGNIFICATIVOS: UM OLHAR SOBRE APRENDIZAGEM EM CURSOS DE ENGENHARIA
A mediação pedagógica da componente curricular Desenho Técnico, por vezes, é muito confundida por alguns estudantes de engenharia com dificuldades, como algo “muito chato”, sem sentido, sem cor, sem atrativos e sem vida. Todavia, podem-se constatar também, mediante algumas ações pedagógicas realizadas em sala de aula, algumas oficinas interdisciplinares, mini cursos e atividades extensionistas, justamente o contrário: beleza, sentido, cor, movimento, criatividade, arte, integrações conceituais e muito envolvimento, pois o público envolvido participa de forma ativa na elaboração do próprio conhecimento, estabelecendo conexões com outras áreas de atuação, com muitas percepções singulares importantes. É possível, de forma lúdica, participativa, movimentada, dinâmica e contextualizada, discutir, exemplificar, elaborar e criar algumas representações gráficas – desenhos projetivos, com base em alguns conceitos e percepções prévias dos estudantes, que estão presentes na vida cotidiana, de forma geral, baseados nos seguintes conteúdos – ponto, simetria, sólidos geométricos, poliedros, formas regulares e irregulares, ângulos, arcos, dentre outros, por intermédio de uma prática pedagógica amparada pela ludicidade e pela criatividade, uma vez que, as atividades se tornam interessantes, prazerosas e articuladas com outros campos de conhecimentos. Dessa forma, este artigo busca evidenciar alguns resultados e reflexões, fruto das experiências pedagógicas que ocorreram com o protagonismo inicial do Desenho Técnico, ao ressaltar os benefícios tangíveis – aprendizagens, articulações conceituais, percepções ampliadas, além de muita motivação, alegria, disposição e reminiscências, que são declarados pelos envolvidos, por intermédio das ações citadas. Dentre as implicações do estudo, sugere-se a necessidade de continuidade do trabalho sobre as possibilidades do Desenho Técnico, de modo que, possam favorecer as ações pedagógicas com a componente curricular de modo ampliado, tornando-a cada vez mais significativa, sobretudo diante de acadêmicos de engenharia.

THE RELEVANCE OF THE MUSEUM OF FAVELAS FOR AN INTERCULTURAL AND DECOLONIAL EDUCATION
This article examines the contributions of the Museum of Favelas to intercultural and decolonial education, analyzing its role as a cultural institution dedicated to promoting epistemic plurality. Founded as an institution committed to valuing peripheral cultures and deconstructing Eurocentric narratives, the Museum has established itself as a reference in amplifying historically silenced voices. Based on visits and studies conducted in 2023, a period of intensified activity, it was observed how its cultural and educational initiatives fostered the re-signification of urban territories, the appreciation of Afro-Brazilian and Indigenous knowledge, and the empowerment of peripheral communities. However, with the transition to a conservative state government aligned with far-right political agendas, the Museum underwent a process of dismantling and underutilization as a public policy. This context not only compromised its operational structure but also contradicted its original mission as a space for inclusion and decolonization, illustrating the impacts of political and ideological shifts on the management of transformative cultural initiatives. Anchored in the frameworks of critical interculturality and decolonial pedagogy, this study articulates theoretical and empirical analyses, highlighting the Museum’s relevance as a locus of resistance and reflection. Despite the challenges imposed, the Museum of Favelas remains a symbol of the struggle for cultural diversity and historical reparation in Brazil, reaffirming the need for public policies that ensure the continuity of cultural spaces committed to intercultural dialogue and the construction of a plural education.
EXTENSIONIST EXPERIENCE THROUGH THE MONITOR OF A SOCIAL GASTRONOMY COURSE
This article is an experience report from the perspective of a student working for the first time as a monitor in an extension activity, in a Salty Snacks Course offered by the Social Gastronomy Extension Program in Jardim da Gente of the Federal University of Ceará (GS-UFC) and the School of Self-Sustainable Gastronomy (EGA) of the Mental Health Movement (MSM). This is a descriptive study based on observations and on-site participation, using a critical, reflective, qualitative and descriptive approach to the aforementioned course. The report is based on a student of the Bachelor's degree in Gastronomy at UFC and a scholarship holder of the GS-UFC extension program, who worked as a monitor with the teachers of the aforementioned course, observing mainly the classroom teaching and the practices carried out by them. As a result, information about the Salty Snacks Course was presented, contextualizing it, focusing on the target audience (the community of Grande Bom Jardim in Fortaleza/CE), the location (EGA) and the content taught. The main occurrences were also described, mainly regarding classroom activities as perceived by the GS-UFC monitor, through the organization and monitoring of classes. Finally, the report considered it to be a gateway to teaching by providing communication skills and culinary techniques, both essential for a career in gastronomy teaching. Based on the experience, it was concluded that the learning acquired went beyond expectations because it allowed contact with the course participants and with the assisted reality, an important fact that is not found in books. In addition, it allowed awakening the desire to pursue a teaching career.
SPIRITUALITY, ART AND HEALTH WITHIN THE HOSPITAL CONTEXT
The extension project “The awakening of health through art - Spirituality, health and art” - (Plantão da joy) emerged with the aim of bringing comfort and lightness from art to hospitalized adults and children, as well as to their families and staff. hospital. The games and the presence of clowns help children to feel included and to deal better with the hospital environment. On the other hand, for adults, the hospital reality can be frightening, representing the loss of routine and submission to a new set of rules. During visits to the Hospital Santa Casa de Misericórdia de Catalão, the academics, dressed as clowns, developed playful activities, such as painting, music and games, with the aim of listening to and relaxing the patients and their companions. The proposal, primarily, listen and then speak, in order to offer a moment for patients to express their feelings and emotions. Two visits in particular stood out. In one of them, a seven-year-old boy expressed his faith and religious knowledge in a surprising way, demonstrating confidence and hope in his recovery. On another occasion, a 14-year-old teenager was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus, leading her mother to open up about her thoughts and challenges related to her daughter's illness. Studies have shown that playful activities in a hospital environment bring several benefits, such as improved mood, social interaction, acceptance of medical procedures and a more positive emotional state. Spirituality/religiosity has also been associated with better general well-being and lower rates of depression and anxiety, highlighting the importance of holistic approaches to health. The presence of the “joy duty” project contributed to the humanization of the hospital environment, providing moments of lightness and relaxation in the midst of adversity. The ability to communicate and understand between those involved is essential to establish a relationship of trust and complicity, creating a safe environment for dialogue. Finally, the experience report highlights the importance of welcoming and active listening in the hospital context, highlighting the role of the project in promoting well-being and emotional resilience for patients, family members and companions.
EXTENSION PROJECT “CURSINHO POPULAR PAULO FREIRE” IN BRAGANÇA, PARÁ, AMAZON: structure, results, challenges and potentialities
The objective of this paper is to report on the extension activities of the Paulo Freire Popular Prep Course (CPPF) to ensure access to higher education. The CPPF extension project aims to democratize access to higher education for young people and adults in the municipality of Bragança and surrounding areas who are in situations of social vulnerability, preparing them for the selection processes of public universities/institutes. The perspective adopted by the course is Freirean, aiming to socially transform the students' reality through education, thus promoting critical thinking about the importance of education and its relationship with society. The CPPF is currently linked to the "Transversal Axis" extension call for proposals from the Extension Pro-Rectorate (PROEX) of the Federal University of Pará, which funds an extension scholarship from August 2018 to July 2020. The CPPF has two target audiences, with young people and adults from Bragança in social vulnerability preparing for the National High School Exam (ENEM) being the main focus. The CPPF has been an extension project since 2007, with significant results in university entrance exam approvals. From a sample of the years 2016 to 2018, forty-nine students were approved: ten from the 2016 class, twenty-seven from the 2017 class, and twenty-two from the 2018 class. These numbers represent an annual approval rate of just over 50% per class. One of the main challenges faced by the prep course is the learning difficulties, particularly among students from public basic education. There are challenges surrounding the students' learning in preparation for the ENEM that need to be jointly addressed by the CPPF, the University, and public schools so that the CPPF extension project becomes more effective each year. The CPPF is of great importance in its objectives within the local context, both in terms of preparing and approving students in the ENEM, and as a space for pedagogical and didactic practice for undergraduate students.
USING INSTAGRAM AS A TOOL FOR COMMUNICATION AND HEALTH EDUCATION FOR THE COMMUNITY:
This article presents the experience of the team responsible for implementing a university extension program with regard to the use of Instagram as a tool for communication and health education for the community, as well as information about its reach and the topics addressed on this social network. This experience is based on the principle that virtual platforms are increasingly recognized and utilized for general information and training in public health and, therefore, should be incorporated into academic extension proposals. The program—Brincando de Respirar—encompasses six projects described by evaluation, guidance, and pediatric respiratory physiotherapy intervention. It involves children and their caregivers, as well as other professionals, to ensure success in the prevention, promotion, and recovery of respiratory health within the specified population. The use of Instagram by the program team, through systematically organized educational content and posts on the social network, has expanded the scope of the involved projects, as it provides the community with unrestricted access to activities and knowledge related to pediatric respiratory physiotherapy.
This Experience Report presents the work of scholarship students from the Programa de Residencia Pedagógica of the Letters course at the Faculdade de Ciências e Letras de Iguatu (UECE/FECLI), during an activity carried out at the Filgueiras Lima Full-Time High School in Iguatu, Ceará. The proposal aimed to connect International Women's Day and World Poetry Day through a poetry recital that encouraged the reading and listening of poems written by Brazilian women authors. The activity fostered students’ contact with female literary voices, expanded their literary repertoire, and stimulated aesthetic sensitivity, while also encouraging critical reflection on gender issues, identity, empowerment, and social justice. Based on the studies of Cosson (2018, 2021), Pinheiro (2018), Duarte (2003), and the guidelines of the Brazilian National Common Curricular Base (2018), we understand literature as a formative, artistic, and political practice—capable of shaping more critical, conscious, and empathetic individuals. The literary event became a space of belonging, expression, and dialogue, strengthening students’ intellectual autonomy and bringing art closer to the school environment as a tool for transformation. This experience reinforces the importance of promoting poetry reading, especially poetry written by women, in the school context, pointing to paths toward a more sensitive, plural, and humanizing education. We hope it may serve as inspiration for other pedagogical practices committed to equity and literary sensitivity.
The reduction in biodiversity as a result of various environmental disturbances imposes on federal institutes the need to promote efforts to increase the conservation of species and popularize access to scientific knowledge, narrowing the known distance between academy and the community, using, for example, strategies raising awareness among people through environmental education practices using dry preserved specimens. Thus, the objectives of this work were: to produce two taxidermied pieces of Amazonian fish, establishing their cost, to use them to promote an environmental education action with students from the Ruy da Silveira Britto municipal elementary school and to transfer the technology to the community (students and employees) of the House-School of fisheries. The final result of the pieces was good, using a wooden base for support and presentation. The opportunity cost was recorded at R$29.77 and the total cost of inputs was R$11.10 and R$17.97, respectively for aracu and tilapia. The final pricing must also include travel expenses to purchase materials, shipping costs for delivering the final product and any other expenses, in addition to considering the market and the desired profit margin. Fish was the most expensive item, which should motivate professionals to choose species with lower value, avoiding species with commercial appeal, such as tilapia. The lecture with slides and presentation of the taxidermied pieces had a lot of interaction with the elementary school students and the workshop stage was productive with 100% satisfaction, except for the location/environment, which, being hot, caused thermal discomfort in the afternoon. It was concluded that maintaining a collection of taxidermied fish parts requires constant monitoring and hygiene as a way of avoiding infestations and damage, being a very useful and valuable resource in environmental awareness, as well as an alternative income, since there is demand in places tourist attractions in the city. It is a possibility for people who have patience and care – necessary skills in carrying out the work – and availability of time, or even people who cannot be formally employed.
CIVIL ENGINEERING AS A TOOL FOR SOCIAL TRANSFORMATION: AN EXTENSION PROJECT WITH MODELS AND REVIT TECHNOLOGY
This experience report describes the implementation of an extension project carried out by students of the Civil Engineering course at the Universidade do Estado de Minas Gerais (UEMG), Passos-MG campus, with the objective of promoting interaction between the university and the local community through the use of technologies applied to civil construction. The project involved the creation of electronic models using Revit software and the construction of physical models, which were exhibited to the public in the city square, providing a more accessible and visual understanding of the stages of an architectural project. The activity aimed to stimulate the interest of young people in the areas of engineering and architecture, while offering students the opportunity to apply technical concepts in practical situations, promoting the development of professional and social skills. The results indicated a positive impact both for the community, by democratizing technical knowledge, and for the students, who improved their skills in the area of civil construction and strengthened their bond with society.
ABSTRACT: The present work addresses the phenomenon of feminicide as a specific form of lethal violence practiced against females, based on the understanding and socio-historical construction of gender relations, relating this aspect to media naturalization. Given this, the research aims to understand and discuss forms of media naturalization of violent behavior and its relations with femicide. In this sense, this work will contribute to the understanding of issues related to gender violence and feminicide in which pervade the crime or sphere typified in the legislation. Therefore, it is a qualitative research that used a bibliographical study as a data collection instrument. Thus, in the discussion of the results, it was possible to perceive that the media has a strong impact on the maintenance of power relations between genders, naturalizing the place of female submission. Such naturalization, with regard to femicide, occurs through the forms of media repercussion that propagate the naturalization of male violent behavior in relation to its impact on the female gender. In this perspective, by maintaining a symbolic influence of always placing men in the spotlight or symbolic superiority, a domination is stimulated that subjects women to power or violence of different types, raised from this influence of institutions of media, social, political and familial. Keywords: Feminicide; Media naturalization; Gender.
REPORT ON THE 2022 ONLINE COURSE ON EDUCATION FOR ETHNIC-RACIAL RELATIONS
This paper presents an experiential report on the 2022 Online Extension Course on Education for Ethnic-Racial Relations. The course was developed within the scope of UEMG's extension projects at the Carangola campus, reaching students from the local unit, other units, and even other universities. The course aimed to foster an anti-racist awareness among teachers and professionals in training. To achieve this, video conferencing classes were offered, along with study materials in text and video formats, as well as online assessment activities designed to structure learning and collaboration within the class. The course concluded with the creation of lesson plans and anti-racist professional actions, which demonstrated excellent student engagement with the topic. This paper will present the overall structure of the course – its planning, execution, and results – while reflecting on its impact through selected excerpts from students' reflections, highlighting the significant effects that an extension activity can have on the community.
Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) are health issues that considerably affect young people. Therefore, this group represents a key population in the prevention of these infections, and it is the health network's responsibility to reach them specifically. The present paper has as its theme the STI prevention actions carried out by ISTeja Prevenido Collective in locations not covered by health units' actions such as bars, nightclubs, and parties/events attended by young people and the LGBTQIA+ population. The objective was to contribute to the policies of public health care services concerning the prevention of STIs. Two actions were developed in 2022: at the Gaymada event and Moonlight nightclub, both aimed at the LGBTQIA+ public. The Collective’s participation in the Gaymada event happened with a stand where it presented itself. The principal manners of STI prevention were reinforced to the present public and artists. It also counted the distribution of internal and external condoms, lubricants, self-tests for HIV, and informational pamphlets on STI prevention, including where to seek specialized help. In the Moonlight nightclub, the guidelines given to the population focused on HIV/AIDS prevention, using casual language and costumes by the members. Both objected to obtaining the approximation and acceptance of the present public. In addition, the distribution of informative materials, self-tests for HIV, condoms, and condom holders was realized, with the installation of boxes containing condoms in the establishment's bathrooms. As a result of these activities, the approached public in both events showed interest in the theme, maintaining dialogues with the members during the actions. People assimilated the relevance of condom distribution and were clarified regarding its correct use, discussed STIs without taboo, and carried out the self-test for HIV as a form of prevention and, consequently, health conservation. The public contemplated in the Gaymada action was approximately 50 people, while the event in Moonlight reached around 150 individuals. Health education actions focused on preventing STIs must be part of preventive actions aimed at young people. Expanding these actions to different spaces with multiple approaches is essential for resolving public health issues, such as STIs spread. By being available in usually neglected and judged locations, the collective enables an exchange of experiences. Additionally, members can relate theory and practice, benefiting themselves - through improving their skills and knowledge - and the population through access to quality information and supply of materials for infection prevention. Finally, there is an expansion of the possibility of reaching younger people that sometimes do not seek health services.

This article presents the community veterinary pharmacy extension project: you learn through play at an elementary school in Belém-PA, in 2022/2023. The general objective was to promote, through interactive and playful activities, children's awareness of the dangers of self-medication in animals. The activities were developed by veterinary medicine students from the Federal Rural University of the Amazon-UFRA. The information was compiled in spreadsheets using the Microsoft® world and subjected to quantitative analysis, in absolute and relative frequency. The school collaborated in carrying out the activities, allowing the teaching staff to be involved in the project proposals. The results demonstrated that the activities renewed by the project at the children's school allowed students to demonstrate their experiences and understanding of the topic, through interactive activities.
Virtualization of extensionist actions of the Liga Acadêmica de EstomatoPatologia of the University of Pernambuco
The aim of this study was to describe the actions carried out by the project "Liga Acadêmica de EstomatoPatologia (LAEP)," linked to PROEC/UPE, during the COVID-19 pandemic. University extension is an essential component of university education, and in this context, LAEP was founded with the objective of creating a space for discussing lesions and their aspects within Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology and Oral Medicine. The activities developed by LAEP consist of both theoretical and practical moments. In 2022, LAEP activities took place virtually. The participants attended classes, engaged in case discussions, and promoted knowledge dissemination through Instagram, with interactions at the national and international levels. Furthermore, the social event was conducted through YouTube, bringing to the general population a round table discussion on the topic "Oral manifestations of child violence." Therefore, despite the difficulties encountered, it was possible to develop a space to raise awareness in society about the conditions affecting the oral and maxillofacial region, in addition to disseminating knowledge in Oral Medicine and Pathology.

In line with the Extension Policy of the Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia do Rio Grande do Sul (IFRS), the group PET Conexões – Gestão Ambiental develops, since 2010, extension actions based on dialogic interaction, which aim to impact on student education and social transformation. Using environmental education as the main strategy, the group has been seeking to contribute to the construction of a more sustainable society, involving schools, vulnerable communities and the general public in its activities. The objective of this work is to register the actions carried out by the PET group in the year 2022, the first one after the pandemic period of COVID-19, in which the activities were again presential, although only partially. We report four actions related to the socio-environmental theme, which aimed at scientific dissemination and discussion. In the first of them, we sought to promote, within educational spaces, the discussion of the Climate Emergency theme. This was a face-to-face action that covered four educational institutions. The second action refers to the creation of a podcast for discussion of socio-environmental themes - the Balbúrdia Ambiental. In a similar way, an electronic magazine - PETNEWS - was created with the objective of divulging the Group's actions internally and externally. Finally, the second edition of the Cycle of Socio environmental Debates was held, an event that approached the theme “food production in the context of urban space”. All actions were successful, reaching the expected amount of public and generating discussions that pointed to the prospect of continuing the projects, as well as to the promotion of other actions aimed at building environmental citizenship.
