Abstract

This study analyzes how the outreach university actions of the Federal Institute of Paraíba (IFPB, Portuguese acronym), in Cabedelo / PB, develop the understanding of sustainability of the academic and municipal community. The research is linked to the Professional Master´s Program in Public Policies, Management and Evaluation of Higher Education (MPPGAV, Portuguese acronym), offered by the Federal University of Paraíba (UFPB, Portuguese acronym). The case study was carried out according to an applied qualitative approach that investigated the IFPB - Campus Cabedelo. Thus, two outreach centers were selected in order to analyze the actions developed considering the five dimensions of sustainability: the social, environmental, economic, cultural and political dimensions. In this sense, the results demonstrate that the institution develops university outreach actions that include the various dimensions of sustainability. Therefore, it is of paramount importance that the IFPB strengthens strategies that maximize the potential of its outreach activities.
