Last week, on 30 and 31 May, the SINTEGRA project promoted a training called: “Trajetórias estudantis internacionais: Acolhimento e integração no Programa Estudantes Convênio-Graduação (PEC-G)” [International student paths: welcoming and integration in the PEC-G Program]. SINTEGRA is a partnership between the Office of International Relations (SINTER) and the professors of the Department of Psychology Elka Lima Hostensky (Coordinator), Ligia Feitosa and Lia Vainer Schucman, together with a team of academics.

The training was aimed at SINTER staff and internationalization agents (there were representatives from Curitibanos, Araranguá and Blumenau campuses). The conceptual bases of welcoming in higher education were presented and workshops were held based on games and situations that involve social, cultural, pedagogical, psychological and other demands of these students.

Other sectors at UFSC, to which the PEC-G students can be referred to follow-up according to their demands, also participated in the training. The participating sectors were: ACOLHE-UFSC; Prorectorate for Student Affairs (PRAE); Office of Affirmative Action and Diversities (SAAD); Prorectorate for Undergraduate Studies (PROGRAD), through its Pedagogical Support and Evaluation Coordination Office; and the Intercultural Clinic (linked to the Psychology, Migration and Culture Studies Center – NEMPsiC).

Last Wednesday, 24 May, the Office of International Relations (SINTER), in partnership with the Department of Psychology, launched the SINTEGRA outreach project. The launch was held in the School of Socio-Economic Sciences (CSE) Auditorium, from 2 pm to 3:30 pm.

The SINTEGRA project aims to meet the needs of PEC-G students at UFSC. The Programa de Estudantes-Convênio de Graduação – PEC-G provides students from developing countries with which Brazil maintains educational and cultural agreements the opportunity to pursue their undergraduate studies in Brazilian Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). International students over 18 years old and preferably up to 23 years old, with complete secondary education, are selected to enrol in undergraduate programs in Brazil. PEC-G is administered by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MRE) and the Ministry of Education (MEC) in partnership with HEIs throughout the country.

SINTEGRA aims to help the students in their adaptation and integration process at UFSC, discussing academic, cultural, and racial issues. Through the project, students will have greater involvement and will be able to contribute to the improvement of the university.

The Institutional Center for Languages and Translation (NILT/SINTER) promotes the second edition of the course “Exámenes de certificación en español: acercamiento” [Getting familiar with Spanish proficiency exams].
