Abstract

With the purpose of favoring women's access to and permanence in school education, a number of professional courses were developed, which promoted discussions on training for citizenship, health and women's rights, digital inclusion, cooperativism and associativism, entrepreneurship and domestic economy, among others. The Thousand Women Program gained strength and expanded throughout the regions of Brazil. This program favored access to education for women in conditions of social vulnerability and enabled the development of productive potential and improvement of individual and family life quality, as well as potentializing the reduction of social inequality. In the city of Hidrolândia, the activities of the Advanced Campus of the Goiano Federal Institute began in the second half of 2013, under the supervision of Campus Morrinhos and with the coordination of Prof. Alessandra Edna and the Social Assistant Mirian Rodrigues. The first group of the Thousand Women Program, in this city, was composed of 25 students in the age group between 17 and 75 years. The course offered was "Basic Food Processing" with a workload of 160 hours. The students had Portuguese, Mathematics, Ethics and Citizenship classes, Food Contaminants, Good Handling Practices, Food Processing, Basic Informatics, Entrepreneurship and Conservation Methods. Among the disciplines mentioned above, it stands out that of Mathematics, because it originated this work. The classes were taught by Prof. Norivan Dutra, promoting a moment in which the four operations were worked out, percentage calculation, three simple rule, problem solving with low complexity, calculation of the amount of sodium and sugar in food, unit cost of a product, fraction and notions of unity of measures, besides the awareness of good eating habits and sports practices. The work was developed in an interdisciplinary way, considering the context of the students, a fact that contributed to the motivation and interest of the whole class.
