Diálogos entre a extensão e a metodologia de paulo freire: ações do programa "Aproxime-se" durante a pandemia de COVID-19

Abstract

The present experience story aims to establish connections between University Extension and the principles defended by Paulo Freire. To this end, it will be discussed how the “Aproximese” Program of the Distance Education Support Center from the Federal University of Minas Gerais conducted its activities in the 2020 and 2021 editions during social isolation. After the declaration of a worldwide pandemic by The World Health Organization challenges emerged and the way of acting and work process needed to be improved and fully adapted to a remote format. Therefore, the new information generated are relevant to the current scenario of extension, also reinforcing the importance of the maintenance of the “Aproxime-se” to keep the bond with the community.
