| Summary: | The University of International Integration of the Afro-Brazilian Lusophony (Unilab) was established in 2010 in the context of the International Guidelines for Higher Education given by the Unescos World and Regional Conferences. This article captures the context, the origin and the foundations of the Unilab proposal and makes a brief assessment of the objectives achieved after its initial five years. It points out some of the main problems in its implementation: a) maintain a systematic dialogue with institutions and research partners; b) promote a f low of annual inf lows and the exchange of foreign students; c) training faculty with knowledge and experience of the reality of African countries. Given this context, it is recalled the contribution of the educator Paulo Freire, as a way to subsidize the ref lection about how, despite the current difficulties, the university can maintain consistency with its original proposal, regardless of the limitations imposed by the scarcity of financial resources and bureaucracy. |
