Extensão universitária e formação acadêmica: alguns apontamentos sobre os 5 anos de vigência do Programa de Bolsas de Apoio à Cultura e à Arte da UFVJM

What is the meaning of culture and art in the College education of students? This question is the starting  point  of  the  reflections  brought  to  this  article  based  on  the  data  collected  over  the  five  years  of  the Procarte (2012-2017), a specific support program for extension projects related to the area of culture and art developed  by  the  Pro-Rectory  of  Extension  and  Culture  of  the  Federal  University  of  the  Jequitinhonha  and Mucuri  Valleys  (UFVJM).  The  analysis  and  cross-checking  of  all  researched  material  (official  documents, resolutions, regulations and program notices, project worksheets, results tables) made it possible to construct a set of notes on this program, which should contribute not only to the evaluation of it as well as with the debates about the role of university extension in the processes of cultural and College education of students.
