external community and other civil organizations. Despite a current scenario of
human rights violation and omission of responsibility; this project is committed
to discussing and analyzing proposals of changes. Proposals that consider the reality
of the usual neglected and abandoned population, the subjects and motivation of such
activities, as well as the integration of the Sustainable Development Goals and the
UPF’s Social Responsibility Policy—RSU.
Previously developed activities consider the complexity of realities, social and
cultural contexts for each of the occupations along the railroad. Understanding such
physical and human territory included in the cases and situations the occupations are
found is relevant. It allows one to obtain viable results for the improvement of these
conditions, and, to see the region needs that are often left aside. These actions are
extremely necessary to improve the conditions in which the Beira Trilhos population
faces nowadays.
Analysis and diagnosis studies aim to obtain a foundation for future interventions
in the area(s). Research, as the main type of methodology, is able to compare empirical
studies with the current situation. Research also analyses the population-railway
dynamics in order to implement effective alternatives and solutions to improve the
quality of life in such environments, and to guarantee the right to housing and the
city.
Developing the proposed activities also emphasizes the role of academics from
distinct courses involved, in order to develop skills regarding the themes of the
right to housing and the city. It comprises this territory of social, economic and
environmental vulnerability, and also potential urban spaces. These activities also
integrate the communities involved, who are agents of transformation in such context.
Likewise, the academic results are related to the activities of the three pillars of Higher
Education: community engagement, teaching and research.
As proposed by the RSU Policy, the initiative of the Beira Trilhos project
contribute to the understand that university social responsibility means the university’s ability to produce and disseminate practices based on a set of principles, general
and specific values through four key processes: management, teaching, research and
engagement. Finally, based on these considerations, UPF’s social functions were
discussed considering their roles into preparing citizens to transform their realities
and contexts; focusing on the processes developed to promote reflection on what
education means and above all, on Education for Sustainability.
