In order to maximize teaching and strengthen ties within the Family Support
Center environment, the project extension workers participate in parent and teacher’s
meetings, explaining how the project works, showing some of the activities carried
out during the interventions, and transmitting sustainable awareness to be practiced
in their homes and performing activities that promote interaction among extension
workers, parents and teachers. In this way, it is possible, to strengthen the bonds,
multiply the knowledge of sustainability and also listen to those who are involved in
the project.
4 University Extension and Public Policies
The University Extension Project “Baú de Histórias” is based on some current Public
Policies such as: sustainability, health, children’s right, human rights, social assistance and education.
It is fundamental that the current society is aware of the environment situation
and participate in an active way with strategies to conserve and save it. The project
aims, through the use of recycled material and playful activities, to raise children’s
awareness about themes that are, according to the environment and sustainability;
preparing them to valorize the ecosystem in which they live. It is in consonance
with the Action Plan for Sustainable Production and Consumption proposals (Brasil
2011).
This plan, gathers actions proposals to guide the society to reach sustainable
development objectives. Among the priorities are the educational actions for the
sustainable consumption that consists of the use of alternative forms to sensitize
individuals, causing behavior changes and increasing the re-use of solid residues,
reducing, consequently, the wastes’ quantity in landfill sites (Brasil 2011).
The “HumanizaSUS”, national policy of humanization (Brasil 2003), proposes
innovative actions in the health system, defending a Single Health System (SUS).
As Brazil is a very heterogeneous country, the system offers the same healthcare for
everybody and pursuits to promote interaction among social, collective and subjective demands on health. The idea is to valorize the different subjects involved and
encourage the individual’s autonomy and protagonism, as well as the collectives here
involved, increasing the co responsibility in the health production.
For the “HumanizaSUS” guidelines, to “receive” is to recognize the needs as
legitimate and unique. The reception is constructed in a collective way depending on
the need and it has the objective to build bonds of trust, commitment and a connection
which must support the relationship between teams/services and children/relatives
(social and affective network) (Brasil 2003).
The project turns the atmosphere into a healthier place welcoming health, assistance and education issues. In addiction, it provides good meetings for all the people
involved. Prioritizing each child’s singularity and process’ complexity, the project
uses the enlarged and shared clinic as a strategy for extensionists, complying one
more guideline of “HumanizaSUS” (Brasil 2003).
