Abstract

The paper presents the academic experience of a sociologist within the School of Education of Universidade Federal do Ceará, seen as an interdisciplinary space, of projects development, research groups and teacher training. It is based on the methodological recommendations of Justino Magalhães (2004) and is supported by records of memories from managers and teachers of the institution focused, like Antonio Martins Filho (1996) and Paul Elpídio de Menezes Neto (2011), which have autobiographical components. It presents a selection of teachers’ memories and impressions since 1986, when UFC and the author were 30 years old. It concludes that both were in the young stage of life, nurturing challenging dreams and creative plans for the future.
