Abstract

For 10 years, the Popular and Solidarity Economy Fair of the Faculdade de Ciências Econômicas da Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais has been a space for exchange, knowledge and dialogue about other economies in the university space. This article discusses the experience of the Fair as an extension project, addressing its methodology, the profile of the participants and the results achieved. Data from questionnaires administered to the fairgoers and reports obtained in discussion groups held in 2023 are used. The multiplicity of profiles of the participants stands out, although the majority are self-declared black women. There are also diverse motivations for participation, which allows us to understand the Fair as a space for the convergence of diverse experiences and experiences. It also emphasizes the relevance of the Fair as an ongoing pedagogical process through the creation of connections, collaborations and affections. A fundamental aspect of this movement is the appropriation of the university space – and its daily dynamics – by popular economic practices.
