ABSTRACT
This work is a brief report on the “Projeto Raízes” of the University of Brasília, a tutoring project aimed at students with special income (Indigenous students, refugees and foreigners participating in the PEC-G), mostly freshmen. The aim is to present the project and the main issues that arose between July 2017 and March 2019, a period in which we participated in its coordination, and also the possible contributions that School Psychology could bring to the creation and development of this type of action, which we understand to have a character of resistance and transformation regarding the current educational model that is directly related to market interests and less to human and social issues. Many were the challenges encountered along this path and we are aware of the difficult mission we assumed in relation to maintaining this work, but we believe in its creative, integration and transformation potential, which necessary for understanding who we are as a Brazilian public university and what we want to be.
