Impact of the University Extension Project on the Learning Process of Young People in Social Vulnerability Situated in Shelter for Minors

Abstract

In this work, an assessment is made of the impacts caused by the university extension project called “Aprender Project†on the learning process of young people in situations of social vulnerability. We observed the influence of the project on the lives of young people who were temporarily sheltered in a temporary home in the city of Sete Lagoas. Young people are under 18 years of age and have been removed from their family because they are at risk. The project aims to insert a undergraduate to assist residents in their school tasks, in addition to proposing new activities that provide learning. We present an account of the methodologies that positively contribute to making the learning process more effective for these young people. We concluded that the project brought benefits to young people in terms of behavior, school performance and living with the institution's workers.
