Political Cartoon, Revolution and Censorship in Syria
The main goal of this paper is discussing the relationship and symbolic communication between artists and society in Syria before and after the beginning of the war, in 2011. We aim to examine the question of the role of the artist in questioning the status quo along the dictatorship which has begun in 1970 with Hāfid Alasad and maintained in the years 2000 by his son Baššār Alasad. During this period of time, even under threat of a violent authoritarian military government, many forms of artistic expression critical to the regime bloomed in the many fields of arts. Among them, the political cartoons were important means of expression to make censored critical thinking public. We aim to investigate the importance of the political funnies of Alī Firzāt for the Syrian society which lives under censorship, and shall act as if they agreed with the regime.

Interpretations of the Art in São Paulo Subway Stations
This article presents an overview of the permanent and temporary works of art installed in the stations of the São Paulo Metro with a view toward explicating the meanings attributed to them. The method used is a comparitive study based on qualitative and quantitative data available in bibliographies and dissertations about the Metro and from material published by communication media, in addition to photographic records of works and in loco research projects involving users, maintenance technicians, and monitors of temporary exhibitions of works developed by means of technological devices. From the results, it can be seen that the interactive works representative of the technological transformations and social behaviors that the contemporary world has experienced were met with great receptivity on the part of the users/spectators/ actors – as was also the case for the permanently installed works. There is evidenced a diversity of cultural, social, historical, affective, esthetic, environmental, ecological, and above all, political and economical meanings that have influenced – together with the absence of curatorship, of public policies and of hybrid and innovative project solutions – the process of insertion/presentation of this educationative cultural element into the social spaces of the stations.

Free Expression Painting Studio with Sheltered Children: Reflections on the Phenomenology of Life
Towards the complex universe of institutional sheltering, we created in 2013 an observation and in tervention extension project of a Free-Expression Painting Studio with children from a sheltering institution in São Paulo, lasting for one year and three months. We followed the methodology developed in France by Doctor Michel Ternoy and developed in Brazil Hospital-day and Psychosocial Care Center at the Psychiatry Department from Federal University of São Paulo (UNIFESP), since 1999, in a study with psychiatric patients using the phenomenological structural method by Eugène Minkowski. The project was established on a partnership between the Sheltering Institution and the discipline of Supervised Internship of the Institute of Psychology, University of São Paulo (IPUSP). The studio activities were held in the Psychological Clinic of Durval Marcondes School Center at IPUSP, with ten institutionalized children and teenagers, aged between 4 and 15 years old. From this experience, we will try to make a theoretical reflection by opening dialogue with the phenomenology of life of the French philosopher Michel Henry

Urban Performances: Artistic Form and Urban Interventions
The study presents a theoretical reflection on urban interventions through an artistic performance, not delimiting values nor conceptual boundaries for these two practices. An action, called 'Reframing the City', performed in the center of São Paulo during 2016 and 2017, is especially observed. The author-performer silently conducts a classic frame for paintings, through streets and avenues of the city, a device that deflagrates unpredictable events and interactions. The objective is to investigate the political and aesthetic dimensions of interventions in the urban space to understand latent cultural resilience in the productive and cultural practices that involve the relationship between the body and the city. It is also hoped to develop new ways of thinking, conceptually and physically, the contemporary phenomenon of the presence of a dissonant body in the public spaces of the city. It is questioned to what extent these unprecedented actions have the power to establish alternative singularities to the dominant processes of subjectivation that model, frame or even preset behaviors, looks, spaces and therefore thoughts.

Preliminary Reflections on Art and Society
This article presents a synthesis of the interpretations of the theory of Beauty and mimesis, renewing and finding, as the main point, throughout western tradition, besides the idea of beauty, the world of the art concrete experience lived by the individual in society. The socio-historical sense is the basis for the art representation and interpretation, and the main for imaginary and real experiences in the art process autonomy and citizenship. Such process is analyzed from fine arts to the moment when the authenticity criterion of art transforms the artistic production relations and social function into modern art. And finally, contemporary art is discussed in respect of cultural value as political and social progress seeking the “democratization of art” ideal.

Dolphin Talk: Considerations on Bioacoustics as an Interdisciplinary Pedagogical Resource from Elementary to High School
In this work we propose resources for acoustics teaching in elementary, middle and high school based on animal vocalizations collected in the context of scientific research. The proposal focus on bibliographic and computational resources aiming at allowing interactions among different school disciplines through contextualized Physics teaching. Moreover, we expect the proposal to favor exchanges between schools and scientific institutions where those research originate and progress. Consequently, universities and scientific institutes could have opportunities to offer outreach activities to schools, while the latter could benefit from a closer contact with scientific research resources.

Body, education and culture with teenagers in formation. Learning to learn and the experiences of the Afro-Brazilian Art Center of the University of São Paulo
The following text presents some interwoven provocations that arise from wisdom and experiences of Contramestre Pinguim taken here as opportunities to think about culture as mediator of public policies for education at school. We start with a panorama of the appropriation of “doing culture” in the city by young people by promoting autonomous and non institutionalized artistic-cultural movements that gained force in the two last decades, most of them in the peripheries of São Paulo where there is a critical death rate among black young people as consequence of violence. Next we present the Afro-Brazilian Art Center of the University of São Paulo as an artistic-cultural occupation, with political outcomes, since 1997. We approach its extensional concept and some of its actions not to present them as complete models, but as educational proposals in constant construction process in order to enrich the debates on “Education and University from the point of view of Culture and Extension” in the hope of the creation of affirmative university policies for interaction with school communities. Among these experiences we highlight a narrative about the participation of researchers from the Afro-Brazilian Art Center as art educators at the FEBEM (Foundation for Minors Welfare – a youth detention center), which is now called Casa Foundation.

The Political Pedagogical Project of Education in Prisons and the Role of the Public University
The article is an account that articulates initiatives of teaching, research and extension developed by Gepêprivação from the School of Education of the University of São Paulo as part of a larger initiative called The Political Project Pedagogical of Education in Prisons. Through the diagnostic research, about 10,000 people were deprived of their liberty in the vicinity of USP, which led us to reflect on and the responsibility of the public university in Brazil in face of this serious social issue. These are part of these experiences a compulsory course Pedagogy course with a curricular internship and a doctoral research that, together, promoted university extension activities for undergraduate students to teach in a female prison in the city of São Paulo, a teacher training course and an essay on the need for mapping the territory to articulate the competencies of the public university with the needs of the prison and socio-educational systems in the State of São Paulo.

Construction of contextualized knowledge and popular culture in the teaching of sciences through the production of digital videos in the context of scientific and technological folkcommunication
This work deals with the construction of contextualized knowledge through popular participation in science teaching through the production of digital videos in the context of folkcommunication. From the recognition of the limitations of the school and the traditional conception of education we present the results of a participatory intervention research that analyzed how the production of digital videos by students of a school in the Municipal Network of the municipality of Itapissuma (PE) contributes to the construction of knowledge contextualized in science teaching. The methodology used was of qualitative nature, employing semi-structured interviews and participant observation for the data collection with eighteen students and one teacher. Prior to the beginning of the students' work, workshops were created to create digital video, followed by interviews, in the post-production phase. The results show that the assumption of the role of cultural producers contributes significantly to the process of knowledge construction and to the contextualized implementation of the curricular contents. The publication of the videos in social networks, followed by debates and dialogues about scientific concepts that impact the daily life of the community where they live (pollution, sexually transmitted diseases), on the other hand, established a nexus between life, popular culture and science teaching, according to the elements of a Scientific and Technological Folk. Thus, recognizing the importance and necessity of pedagogical mediations that promote interaction, collaboration, teamwork and the development of autonomy, our results validate the production of digital video as an educational technology capable of establishing new ways of understanding the world.

Continuing education on Paleontology: the experience with the project “Workshop on Paleontology: fossils inside the classroom”
The Natural Sciences are essential in the education of citizens aware of the reality in which they live. In this context, Paleontology has an important in basic education, given its multidisciplinary nature, what enables the integrated understanding of the events and phenomena that changed natural environments during the geological history of our planet. In addition, its teaching promotes the awareness of the importance of the fossils as public patrimony, essential for their preservation. Even though current technology allows quick and easy access to information, the selection of subjects and practical activities is often inadequate, as most teachers do not have expertise in paleontology. With this scenario in mind, we created the “Workshop on Paleontology: fossils inside the classroom”, culminating in a continuing education workshop, aiming to promote better education of Palentology in schools (basic education). The project already held two workshops, in which several theoretical-practical activities were carried out with teachers and future educators of the public-school network of Ribeirão Preto and Jaboticabal cities, possible multipliers of scientific and patrimonial knowledge within the classroom. After the second workshop, a questionnaire was conducted with students and aimed to assess the course and improve upcoming workshops.

Taking Care of the Caregiver: Student's Perceptions on Extension Project
We aim to know the perception of nursing and occupational therapy students towards the feelings triggered during the Extension Project: “Looking at the caregiver: who cares deserves to be cared for”. This is an experience report produced from the Project developed from June 2015 to December 2016, which carries out four meetings with family caregivers of patients from the Better at Home Program and the Interdisciplinary Home Care Program. Data was collected from the caregivers’ reports in January 2017 and thematically approximated. Four categories emerged, which comprehend the students’ perceptions that presented feelings or similar situations: Perceptions on bonding with family caregivers; Feelings experienced by students when taking care of the caregivers; the student’s viewpoint on the family caregiver; and Knowledge beyond the undergrad school. The appearance of diverse feelings is common in the students’ reports, especially the ones that pity or worry with the situation experienced by the caregiver. We concluded that the bonding produced with the caregivers through care delivery shows the relevance of the extension project in the students’ degree, which allows the maintenance of issues already seen in the course.

Study of the Relationship of Parents of Elementary School Students with the Faculty of Animal Science and Food Engineering FZEA / USP
This article is the result of the qualitative and quantitative analysis of the perceptions of parents of public elementary school students, in relation to the University Of São Paulo (USP), during the participation in the project "USP na Escolinha". The purpose of this study was to portray the synesthesia of participating parents and to verify the insertion of these individuals before this public university. We conclude that the studied group is unaware of important information, such as whether USP collects students' tuition or not. The interest of the community in participating in activities offered by the studied institution is clear, but they lack information on how to do it. In the method, the authors carried out the data collection through questionnaires, distributed by the university extension project; the target audience was parents of children aged between six and ten years-old who took part of this project. The result contributes to contextualize the challenges of community and public university communication; and the work serves as a reference for other Brazilian public universities interested in improving their extension work.
Using the Inquiry Cycle in a Science Club to integrate public school and university in the north coast of São Paulo state
The Center for Marine Biology from the University of São Paulo promotes not only research and teaching but also outreach projects, highlighting a Science Club in partnership with a public school from São Sebastião town, which aims to approach the scientific knowledge construction process to middle school students. The activities in the Science Club are in agreement with the Schoolyard Ecology, a didactic-pedagogic propose that stimulates the natural curiosity to research and questioning about the environment. The methodological tool is the Inquiry Cycle, an alternative of the conventional scientific method aiming to answer a question from the nature observation by a personal action that collects data to be analyzed and discussed until it generates a new question. There was significant participation of students, teachers and technicians from both institutes. We have been still determining the best format along the last 4 years to make the activities more attractive and playful to the students. In spite of difficulty to maintain the amount of students until the end of the activities, the Science Club was a powerful agent to involve academic community in outreach projects and to engage teenager students from public schools in social-environmental discussions.

Experiences From an Extension Program: Awareness of the Population About the Importance and Use of Pharmacogenetics
The term "pharmacogenetics" indicates the existence of variations in the DNA sequence that may influence the way our body responds to drugs, both in terms of therapeutic efficacy and the occurrence of adverse drug reactions. Although very well established and applied internationally, the use of pharmacogenetics is not yet a reality in Brazil, especially in SUS. The general objective of this work was to produce an informative pamphlet on pharmacogenetics and apply this pamphlet to the population attending the USP campus in Ribeirão Preto, and to provide freely to patients a genetic test determining *2 and *3 alleles for CYP2C9 enzyme, which is the subject of the pamphlet. The present extension project was done in parallel to a clinical research whose data will be submitted to scientific journals and will not be reproduced here. Participants received general information on pharmacogenetics orally, then read the pamphlet and evaluated it through a questionnaire. This study showed that with the use of simple materials and method, it is possible to bring pharmacogenetics to lay people, and this may be an important approach to stimulate the use of this information by health professionals.

Intervention Program With Games: Theory And Practice
The objective of this theoretical paper was to contextualize the intervention program of LEDA (Laboratory of Studies about Development and Learning, Institute of Psychology, University of Sao Paulo) in terms of theoretical framework and practice with games for children with learning difficulties. The former is based on Piaget's theory and on contemporary researches concerning the use of games and the implications for human development. The analysis of the practice refers to the work developed for the last 25 years in which the laboratory offered activities for elementary school children, attended once a week, during three semesters. Protocols are used to record procedures shown at different moments of the game context, as well as records of attitudes and information provided by the participants’ families and teachers. Data resulted the construction of a framework that represents a synthesis of the intervention program’s amplitude. Recent researches carried out in the context of the activities suggest that intervention with games favors interest, autonomy and the improvement of executive functions. This program enables participants to build up favorable attitudes towards the development and learning processes, acting as protagonists in the school environment and in their daily activities.

Little Naturalists: exploring the educational potential of Museum of Veterinary Anatomy of FMVZ USP
The 'Little Naturalists Project' aimed the development of educational activities with teachers and students of Elementary School of two schools in the city of Miracatu, Vale do Ribeira, SP. This article takes into account the results that influenced the structuring of the Educational Program of the Museum of Veterinary Anatomy of FMVZ USP. Inserted in the context of university extension, this project of scientific divulgation approached subjects inherent to the teaching of the Natural Sciences through the identification of animals, environmental conservation, respect and care with life. In addition to these subjects, the project sought ways of learning with these teachers and students in a space different from the reality of their lives: the museal scene. As main results, the project produced the guidelines of the MAV Guide for Teachers, new thematic orientations related to the training of teachers and contributions to the performance of museum monitoring for elementary school students. This project also allowed the expansion of the experience of the Undergraduate students through the interrelation of pedagogical practice between the university museum and the public school, an experience of great value for the discussion involving education and university from the point of view of culture and university extension.

How to talk about contaminated land in scientific dissemination events?
This article presents some reflections on the possibilities of an educational extension program at University of São Paulo and the environmental education in Brazil, discussing the contaminated areas and its relationship to the daily life, based on the data analysis and various information, mainly from the Value of Contaminated Areas (RAC) of the State Environmental Company of São Paulo (Cetesb), on an environmental management manual and materials made available by public agencies, institutes and associations. We discussed the adoption of a mapping method as information and communication technology (ICT) for the presentation of the phenomenon using Google Earth. The results showed that the Geographic Information Systems (GIS) allows the processing of data in order to provide different representations of the phenomenon, and therefore different approaches. Among the main closing remarks, there is technology as a promising way in the information process and environmental awareness, assisting the awakening of a sense of political demand. Finally, there are some ways to be followed in continuity and improvement of this work.
