Abstract

University extension is an essential element of the institution identity and shows great educational and social potential. These practices enable social communication between the university community and the social environment in which it is inserted, promoting dialogue and shared knowledge. This study aimed to identify the institutions that promote extension practices in the community São Domingos, in the municipality of Sobral - CE, and carry out an analysis of the social relevance of such practices in the community. The research methodology included: i) bibliographic survey, and ii) field work in the São Domingos community. Our results led to the conclusion that the extension projects in the community promoted knowledge sharing and contributed to the participants’ learning process.
