Race and Ethnic Relations Coordination Office (COEMA)
The Race and Ethnic Relations Coordination Office (COEMA) was established in 2021 in response to the growing need for initiatives aimed at combating racism and fostering the creation of anti-racist policies. Its mission is to advocate for the rights of Black, Indigenous, and Quilombola communities at UFSC, ensuring that their voices are heard and their rights are respected.
The main responsibilities of the Race and Ethnic Relations Coordination Office are:
- provide institutional support for initiatives aimed at combating racial/ethnic inequalities among UFSC students across all university campuses;
- articulate institutional anti-racism actions at the university;
- contribute to promoting the visibility of racial/ethnic diversities;
- promote a permanent dialogue with students and social movements;
- monitor the student retention policies for indigenous, quilombola and black students, together with the other UFSC units.
