Extraclass actions: curricularization - extension – prevention

Introduction: In view of a flexible, interdisciplinary dynamic and the participation of students in the construction of a critical and investigative training for the improvement of the living conditions of the Brazilian population and, for the achievement of full citizenship, in 2018 through the National Council of Education (CNE), resolution n.7 of 12/18, guidelines for extension in higher education were established. According to the CNE, the extension of higher education in Brazil is an activity that integrates the curricular matrix and the organization of research. An interdisciplinary, political, educational, cultural, scientific and technological process, extension promotes transforming interaction between Higher Education Institutions and other sectors of society, through the production and application of knowledge, in permanent articulation with teaching and research. Thus, “curricular accreditation”, or “extension curricularization” seeks to adapt the Course Pedagogical Projects (PPC) and guarantee a minimum percentage of the course load for extension activities, in compliance with the CNE Resolution, making it possible to apply the theoretical knowledge to practice, focused on social reality and, thus, identifying, understanding, proposing solutions and clarifying problems, benefiting society.
