This study is based on the conception of language as a social practice and considers it a determining fator for social insertion and synonymous with identity. In this sense, it intends to discuss, based on the activities carried out with migrants and refugees in a university extension project – “O Mundo em XX: refugiados e migrantes – uma questão de Direitos Humanos” -, the importance of language as a host and in building identity. To this end, the Project and its actors are contextualizes, as well as the multicultural and multilingual environment in which the workshops are developed, especially those of Portuguese Language, from a dialogical perspective, focusing on communication as a facilitator for the realization of other activities and as a premise for the identity construction.
