The Oguatá | Atagbá Seminar Series: Walking with new conversations through the epistemologies of the south, it is an event proposed and organised by a group of researchers, linked to CES/UC, with an interest in the theme of "University Outreach". Based on the outreach praxis, the collective proposes seminar series to present the outreach work developed by the group members in their respective institutions, with the purpose of promoting the critical and reflective training of the participants and valuing University Outreach as a space for creation, recreation and decolonization of knowledge, inseparable from teaching and research.

This Seminar Series is the result of activities promoted by the outreach collective ATAGBÁ, which aims to carry out political-academic debates aimed at valuing the University and Popular Outreach, promoting exchanges of outreach experiences and carrying out network interventions in university institutions in Brazil and Portugal, guided by dialogue and the joint will to build knowledge based on a University/Society relationship committed to overcoming social inequalities, patriarchy and colonialism, as well as defence and socio-environmental preservation and in favour of cultural diversity.
 

Programme

2:00 pm to 2:30 pm
Title: The construction of popular plans as a strategy of resistance to hegemonic urban projects
Speaker: Alex Ferreira Magalhães

Overview: The reflection is about the methodology of building outreach projects, particularly regarding the type of interaction established between university and social agents rooted in low-income communities, the outreach's frequent 'target audience'. It problematizes experiences of projects that aim to strengthen vulnerable social categories, but that are not of their own initiative, being proposed "from the outside", posing the problem of legitimizing the project within the 'beneficiaries'. It addresses the role of each agent involved and the constitution of 'communities' as the subject of the actions carried out. Such a dilemma is often placed in outreach experiences, as well as in similar spheres, such as the role of NGOs. The proposal is to revisit it under the framework of epistemologies of the south, in order to postulate references to (re)structure current actions and future.
