Abstract

Policies for expanding access to public higher education in Brazil have enabled new forms of relationship between the academic community and the urban contexts in which new campuses have been inserted. The aim of this study is to analyze the role of the Faculty UnB Planaltina (FUP) in the development of the local community, through outreach projects, according to the project coordinators’ perception. This study has a qualitative, exploratory and descriptive character, based on document research in the existing outreach projects at FUP and on semi-structured interviews with the coordinators of the outreach projects selected for the research. Our results pointed out university outreach projects play an important role in FUP, bringing the University closer to the community. However, they still need more institutional space and financial support. These results led to the conclusion that although the existence of that university is positive for the community, and that it is still in a phase of adaptation and identification. its action needs to be increasingly expanded and structured.
