DREAMS OF UNIVERSITY STUDENTS IN THE PANDEMIC CONTEXT AND THE BRAZILIAN POLITICAL SCENE

Abstract

 The extension action of “wheels conversations about dreams” was created in the year 2020 as a way of greeting students’ anguish and sharing experiences as a result of the outbreak of the Sars-CoV-2 (Covid-19) pandemic. This is a grupal space aiming to share dreams, whose meetings are held in a virtual environment, through the Google Meet Platform, as a way to maintain the ties between students and the university community. This article aims to present three oneiric narratives of university students who participated in the first cycle of the project, between May and July of 2020. The method of analysis produced in the group used three dimensions treatment of the oneiric narratives: singular; social and common and the prospective. It is worth highlighting the social distancing and political uncertainties posed challenges to higher education institutions in the sense of calling them to invent communication devices, with students and teachers, and care in order to embrace the sociopolitical dimension of the suffering of the academic community. It is a commitment to professional training that articulates scientific research and experiences of welcoming the other in the teaching/learning process in a constant search for dialogue with the social and historical context.
