Abstract

The article socializes a few sectoral bonds as managed in an experience of the Extension Project Antonio Gramsci: fostering the activist conception of education, of the University of Vale do Itajaí. The experience took place in 2016 with elderly people from the Community Center for the Elderly from Itaipava section of Itajaí city, Brazil, in partnership with workers of a local Health Primary Care Unit and of the Local Health Council. The testimonies were analyzed dialectically by means of the category “We want to dance again, and we appreciate plants”, while the narratives expressed a symbolic pain in view of the cut of municipal resources to guarantee the trips and balls that used to take place monthly and the willingness to make a community garden. The involved sectors recognized the extension program as an effective class and the locus to develop the praxis.
