Historically, Brazilian universities have been showing a lack of culture and extension policies, activities which tended to be less valued inside universities since always. In 2003, a new cycle of educationalpublic policies had started, which resulted in an expansion of university vacancies, especially in federal public institutions, an unprecedented result in Brazilian history. Concomitant with this process, the Ministry of Education started to elaborate a national policy for extension, which was named Proext. In 2008, the Ministry of Culture created the Proext Culture, aiming for an interaction with the cultures produced inside and outside the universities, which had a significant impact in the universities and, mainly, in the education policy managed by the education agenda, being integrally incorporated into Proext, that started assigning a significant rate of resources of extension to cultural projects from public universities. Overall, this programexpanded until 2016, when it was abruptly disrupted by the new federal government. Finally, despite still being an important policy, with considerable amount of resources, it was not sufficient to transformthe academic reality.
