Nursing Academics carries out another edition of the ABC Extension Project

Trying to bring education actions in health and also citizenship notions through ludic activities such as games, activities, art and several playful activities, the Faculty of Nursing academics of the University of Rio Verde – UniRV, participated, last Saturday, April 15, of another edition of the Extension Project: ABC, learning, playing and caring in childhood and adolescence.

The project is done in the Temporary Housing Shelter (CAT), that houses around 25 children and teenagers, under social vulnerability. Idealized in 2020, the project is coordinated by professor Rosilene da Silva Ribeiro, with the participation of the 1^st period academics of the Faculty of Nursing, apart from several students and professors from other courses.

According to professor Ana Cleides Pereira dos Santos, one of the collaborators, the experience has been transformative for both the academics and professors: “we have the opportunity of experiencing the benefits of extension for the population, apart from contributing to the formation of our academics, with the execution of practical activities since the very first period of the course,” mentions the professor.

“University extension promotes a transforming social function and brings the University of Rio Verde closer to the community, aligned to the opportunity of enabling students to learn the professional reality and awaken consciousness and social commitment, which contribute to the formation of a humane professional,” adds the Rector, professor Alberto Barella Netto.
