Abstract

Projects and experiences aimed at the quality of university life, engaging students with their own experiences and discussing issues such as ethnicity, race and gender, encourage participation in institutional life and the appropriation of spaces for training, intervention in reality and the production of knowledge. Engagement goes beyond the students' participation in the institution; it involves a sense of belonging to this place of education. The aim of this paper is to report on the experience of the elective course LabDOC - Interprofessional Health Education and Student Engagement, offered to students from the Biomedicine, Nursing, Speech Therapy, Medicine and Health Technology courses at the Paulista School of Medicine and the Paulista School of Nursing, Federal University of São Paulo (Unifesp/Brazil). Our learning group comprised 3 teachers and 11 students from the above-mentioned courses, investing in learning situations characterized by participatory methodologies and student-centered evaluation processes. The permanent search for articulation between practices and knowledge, seeking to configure the ethical, political and social dimensions of student engagement at university and its imbrications with interprofessional education as an epistemological and methodological device, proved to be powerful and mobilizing for the group. The discussions and reflections on what was experienced and the productions fostered involvement with the processes of training in the area of health, indicating the expansion of belonging and commitment to a more collective academic culture and co-responsibility for the formulation and implementation of institutional policies in the field of equity, inclusion and anti-racist education.
