This narration is born from the restlessness that emerges from being an extensionist in a University Center, in the city of Petrópolis, State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. In the meeting with people from the popular classes, a unique way of doing extension was evident. An extension based on a dialogical practice, which drifts along the path, exposes itself to the encounter and the changes that occur as a result of interactions. An extension that is committed to these people, in the transformation of the world. The investigative exercise was methodologically outlined as research with everyday life. Dialogue and listening are procedures that enhance their reflections woven through field records combining reason and love, body and heart, acting from loving dialogue, seeking what could be called a sentipensante (feeling-thinking) extension. It bets on the evidence paradigm proposed by Ginzburg to capture clues and indications present in the voices, gestures, and silences of the research people. With this work, it was learned that a committed, loving, and liberating extension is possible, which acts in the cracks of this hegemonic university model, which subordinates, excludes, and causes erasures of knowledge, experiences, and histories.
