Abstract

This article describes the main challenges of an extension program that turns 20 years old in 2024, highlighting the challenges in two main dimensions: People and Communication. Associated with this, the history of the main collaboration tools used by the group over the years is described, with some indications of positive and negative aspects in this process. Finally, some reflections are made on the role of the University, Extension and the area of Collaborative Systems to support collaboration between universities and society.
