This research proposal aims to understand the role of extension in the context of the history of Campus Viamão of the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Rio Grande do Sul (IFRS). To this end, we carried out a theoretical basis on the categories: History of Vocational and Technological Education, Extension, History of educational institutions, Memory, Identity and Oral History. It is a research that will have a qualitative approach and of an applied nature. As for the procedures, we will use documentary research and oral history. The research will have two methodological steps: first, the identification and analysis of documents and oral and written sources will be carried out, and after, the elaboration of the product will be carried out. To start the research, we will survey all the Extension projects carried out at the Viamão Campus of IFRS since its implementation. Afterwards, we will carry out an analysis to identify those considered most relevant, considering the number of beneficiaries from the internal and external community, the results with the greatest impact on the community covered, impact on student training, agreements and partnerships signed, working hours of servers dedicated to extension activities, social or environmental responsibility and financial resources applied to the projects. Interviews will be carried out with project coordinators, fellows and the community served from the selected projects. The last stage will be the production and evaluation of the educational product. The theoretical basis that will be used in the research - and consequently in the product - is quite diverse, covering, in particular, the History of educational institutions, memory and identity, with: Amado (1995), Candau (2021), Ciavatta (2005, 2007), Le Goff (2013), Magalhães (1999, 2004, 2010), Pollak (1992) and Saviani (2005). The theoretical bases of Vocational and Technological Education, Federal Institutes and Extension will also be used in the work, with: Ciavatta (2005, 2012), Moura (2008), Pacheco (2011), Ramos (2008), Saviani (2007), Serrano (2013), Severino (2016). For oral history we will rely on: Alberti (2013), Ciavatta (2007 and 2009), Ferreira and Amado (2006) and Magalhães (2004).
