ABSTRACT
This aim of the study was to use an experience report to analyze the efficiency of the implementation of the “Instrumentalization workshop and promotion of extension projects: the integration of education and scientific research in extension scenarios” as an educational tool for promoting and instrumentalizing extension spaces at the newly deployed Advanced Campus-UFJF, in Governador Valadares, MG. After using the described methodological approach, it may be concluded that this workshop was consecrated as a first step towards the recognition of the importance of university extension in more contextualized academic training that is oriented toward afflictions affecting the Brazilian population. Extension does, after all, mean inserting life into higher education and making spaces more dynamic for the public good.
