Abstract

This research proposes a case study of the project "Avante Nova Lima and Avante Santa Emília Extension Course - First phase." Initiated in August 2014, the study is conducted by IFMS in partnership with the communities of Nova Lima and Santa Emília, aiming to provide training in various areas to contribute to the personal and professional development of participants, especially students from public schools in vulnerable situations. The objective is to analyze the offering process and the impacts of the extension project 'Avante Nova Lima and Avante Santa Emília' on the personal and professional development of the participants and the integration between IFMS and the local communities. The research was developed in the Professional and Technological Education Postgraduate Program (ProfEPT), under the research line of Educational Practices in Professional and Technological Education (EPT), within the Macroproject Educational Practices in the Integrated Curriculum. As an educational product, an informational booklet was produced to present this extension project as a possibility for the social and personal development of the participating students. In this sense, the educational product consists of an Informational Booklet designed to share the achievements, impacts, and benefits of the extension project under analysis, as well as to highlight the importance of extension and its role in integrating the institution with the community. The study includes a literature review on the importance of IFMS extension projects, the search and analysis of extension projects in academic literature and databases such as Google Scholar, Scielo, and Science Direct, and an analysis of the case in question.
