- Abstract
This study addresses the challenges of integrating research and teaching into university extension program as an important strategy to materialize the quality of academic training in Administration towards the sustainable development goals (SDG). The action, object of study, is developed by the Department of Administrative Sciences and Department of Public Administration and Social Management of UFRN in collaboration with other departments and campuses at the same institution. The action was developed in the "Mendonça do Amarelão" indigenous community, in the municipality of João Câmara / RN. The objective of this study was to understand how problem situations are formulated for a university-society partnership in search of sustainable development through research projects, and how these actions feed back into the education system. The research was carried out through action research (THIOLLENT, 2003) and a qualitative approach in data analysis. The systematization of common problems and needs (community-university) has led to a central theme under which action has been taken: the management of short production circuits, with emphasis on achieving food and nutritional sovereignty and security, promoting sustainable agriculture and ensuring sustainable production and consumption patterns. It was noticed that the community is oriented to the valuation, recognition and preservation of local resources, important to the accomplishment of the SDG. In this sense, in addition to the very condition of indigenous peoples, such as the one related to territory, there are local obstacles related to production capacity management and production organization, as well as bureaucratic, commercial and gender issues that impact on their food security and sovereignty. This requires an interdisciplinary debate with several fields of knowledge and teachers involved in the current needs of society and issues requiring further research, in order to be included in the educational system to promote technical-scientific and cultural development and citizen training of UFRN graduates. The university extension program is highlighted as an integrating link between research and teaching and enables the construction of a unified interdisciplinary proposal that recognizes education as an emancipatory and continuous human practice.
