Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic affected various sectors of society. Different interventions to control the disease were introduced, highlighting the substitution of on-site activities for remote ones. Considering the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the development of extension projects, the present paper aims to report the team experience of the project “Newsletter” from the Faculty of Medicine, Campus JK (FAMED), the Universidade Federal dos Vales do Jequitinhonha and Mucuri (UFVJM), during the pandemic period. We restructured the project “Newsletter” and kept the activities on by Digital Information and Communication Technologies (DICT). We introduced Instagram as another communication channel. The team carried out a reflexive analysis in a virtual meeting using the guiding question “How did the project Newsletter improve your professional and personal development?”. The most indicated themes were: (i) the performance of the project in the pandemic context; (ii) the importance of visibility and dissemination of FAMED’s information through social media; (iii) the improvement of writing skills; (iv) the strengthening of personal and academic relationships; (v) the importance of planning and organizing teamwork activities. As reported, the project provided a favorable environment for improving skills, strengthening the relationships and reducing the harmful effects caused by the social isolation imposed by the pandemic.
