Revisitando a história — 1980-1995: a extensão universitária na perspectiva do Fórum Nacional de Pró-Reitores de Extensão das Universidades Públicas Brasileiras

Abstract

The work analyses the extension programme that has been carried out since 1980 in forums of Pró-Reitors for extension programme of the brazilian public universities. At the present time, the extension programme is a challenge for the institution in the sense that principles shoud be established to guide the process. The forum considers that extension programmes are part of the academic work, which is to be understood as an organic and continuos process. From this stand point, extension programmes turn to be understood as an educative, cultural, tecnical, cientific process, articulating teaching and research in an integrated way and, also garantying the relationship that promotes changes between university and society.
