Agroecology and environmental sociology workshopsan extension experience in the Contestado Settlement, Lapa (PR)

Abstract

This work aims to portray an extension project, called “Agroecology and Environmental Sociology Workshops”, carried out in 2023. The project was built in conjunction between the Federal University of Paraná (UFPR) and the Landless Rural Workers Movement (MST), bringing together a set of teaching practices, through the debate on environmental justice and climate change, to promote the development of a critical perception about the relationship between the rural and urban world. Among the objectives of the project, we highlight: the construction of a critical perception about the relationship between the rural and urban world, the training of researchers, the experience in a field of experiences of resistance and transformation of reality, focused on the collective “Marmitas da Terra”. In this sense, through agrarian reform efforts, we intended that the student body could participate in spaces from which academic problems and new sensory knowledge could emerge simultaneously.
