The methodological basis was a qualitative approach, with the procedure being bibliographical research and action research in a class of undergraduate students from the sixth semester of the year 2024, between the months of August and December, with classes, pedagogical workshops, observations and photographic records. The data obtained in the research reveal the contributions of the Supervised Internship to the protagonism of interns in the extension curricularization actions, by involving the active participation of these students in conducting and intervention activities in non-school educational spaces, through projects articulated with the social, political and economic demands of society and promoting the exchange of knowledge between university and community, uniting theory with practice, teaching, research and extension, as well as strengthening the process of integral training of these students.
