This work is the result of the reflections started in the study period for the monograph of the undergraduate course in Pedagogy, being outlined from the activities developed in the classroom, in the technical visits and discussions in the PET group. Connections of Knowledge Dialoging and Interacting with the Multiple Realities of the Baixada Fluminense. Thus, based on the questions raised during the participation in the PET Connections group, I considered it fundamental to research the role of Extension in the scope of UFRRJ-Campus Nova Iguaçu in order to try to answer the question of whether it is limited only to its academic aspects or its existence as a space of cultural diversity, knowledge, science, etc. is reflected in the society in which it is inserted, mainly in the aspect of access to education and culture. In order for these questions to be answered, it is necessary to know the University that was implemented there, as well as the process of implementing a Public University in Nova Iguaçu, as well as informing and analyzing what is Extension and how its activities have been taking place in this Institution. For the purpose of understanding the Extension there, if the same dialogue with the local community that is inserted or only its activities are carried out by the academy and the academy.
