The study group was created in 2004, it is currently in its third      version, which is    linked to the Curriculum, Diversity and Teacher Training research line of the Paulo Freire/CNPQ    Research     and      Educational Extension Center of UNEB/DEDC/XII. The group also includes researchers from Campus VI of Caetité, Campus XVII of Bom Jesus     da   Lapa,    from    the   Bahia      Federal  Institute  of   Itapetinga Ba, basic  education teachers,  undergraduate and  graduate  students, people from social movements, specifically quilombolas. Extension activities provided me with learning and experiences about quilombos, curriculum, identity, diversity, racism, affirmative action policies and teacher training, which made it possible for the romanticized concepts about Afro-Brazilian populations to be deconstructed, contributing significantly to my training human and academic.
