Our main projects for the coming years are as follows.
Collective closet at UFSC
Luta plans, for 2021-2022, to implement a Collective Closet at UFSC, with the support of a team of volunteers. We will produce informative and didactic material based on the implementation experience, to encourage and support the realization of the project in other spaces, by other groups.

Disseminate knowledge about TCTs
Contribute to the dissemination of the proposed legislation for land regularization known as Collective Territorial Term (TCT). It is an invention based on consolidated international experiences that aims to favor the legalization of lands occupied by poor communities, based on the idea of collective ownership and management of areas on which family or individual property has been built. Proposals for bills at the federal, state and municipal levels have been formulated by activists and organizations fighting for the right to housing. In addition, experiences of collective organization of communities have been carried out as mobilization strategies to favor the implementation of new laws, when they are approved by the Chambers, Assemblies and the National Congress. Luta follows the activities of two groups related to the TCTs: a network of activists from all over the country that aims to publicize and articulate actions in favor of the project and the initiatives that, in Florianópolis, aim to experiment with collective strategies of collective organization in poor communities.
Online introductory course to utopia
In 2020, Luta promoted for the first time the online course “Introduction to Utopia”. In the coming years, the project team wants to experiment with new course formats:
- a new online edition aimed at groups, with synchronous activities;
- an entirely online, asynchronous version of the course for individual use; and
- a face-to-face version of the course, to test pedagogical learning resources that could not be experienced in the context of remote teaching imposed by the Covid19 pandemic.
The course is aimed at both activists and students and contributes to the emergence of volunteers to the initiatives of Luta or the collectives with which the Laboratório da Utopia relates.
