Emergence and consolidation of the International Archaeology Week MAE-USP Students: some considerations/ Surgimento e consolidacao da Semana Internacional de Arqueologia Discentes MAE-USP: uma reflexao

This article discusses and reflects on the creation and consolidation of the International Week of Archeology Students MAE/USP (SIA), which began in 2007 and happens every two years. Organized in an open and collaborative way by museum students, SIA has become a space for articulation and exchange of knowledge and experiences, playing a fundamental role in the education of future professionals engaged in science and the management of archaeological heritage in the context of Brazilian archaeology. Over its various editions, the event has acquired professional recognition and achieved international lengths, with the creation of a dynamic and democratic protocol for students to work together and with greater institutional insertion. An organization made by students and aimed at interested people in general, the SIA has enhanced its open spirit and growing dialogue with different human collectives that have been demanding new practices and attitudes of archaeological practice. Through interviews, questionnaires, documentation reviews and our personal experience, we provide here a look at the history of SIA and its role in the academic trajectory of students and of the museum as a whole. We hope that this reflection contributes to stimulating the continuity and emergence of other similar events across the country. Keywords: Scientific events; Archaeology; Students; Organization.
