The university extension project, carried out for 12 years, offers more than 80 continuing education activities for teachers of basic education in the public and private education networks. Registrations are made online through Apolo system of USP with priority for teachers in effective performance.
The meeting has already served more than 10 thousand teachers and its main objective is to enable the expansion of the dialog between teachers from the University and basic education with a focus on sharing experiences based on the contemporary challenges of education in all areas of knowledge.
For Professor Eduardo Donizeti Girotto, coordinator of the event and professor of the Department of Geography, Faculdade de Filosofia, Letras e Ciências Humanas (FFLCH) of USP, “the event is an important opportunity to deepen USP’s commitment to basic education, building bridges between USP teachers and different education networks, in order to share knowledge, practices and reflections”.
Courses, conversation circles, lectures, debate tables and workshops are planned during the five days of the event that will be held from July 17 to 21, 2023. Photo of the 22nd edition – Disclosure USP School Meeting.
Among the activities offered are 30-hour refresher courses, conversation circles, lectures, debate tables, addressing themes from different areas of knowledge and that dialogue with the curricula of basic education.

The 30-hour courses are validated by the Secretaria de Educação do Estado de São Paulo (São Paulo State Department of Education) and allow the certificates to be used in the functional progression of teachers in the network.

The Meeting was created in 2007 at the Institute of Physics (IF) of USP, initially aimed only at teachers of this discipline. In 2011, with the adhesion of the organizers to the Programa Novos Talentos da Capes (Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior), it became the current USP School Meeting with coverage for all areas of knowledge and participation of other USP units.
