In this article, we argue for an understanding of the curriculum and its practice as a guiding instrument for the formation, articulating the demand of challenges for the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) course as a response to social realities. We claim that challenges emerge from specific demands and/or for social improvement, and that education, through its practical and theoretical curricula, is necessary for overcoming these challenges. This paper presents a discussion grounded on the international curriculum proposed to Computer Science and on the Great Research Challenges for HCI in Brazil, suggesting a flexible curriculum based on challenges and social problems for the formative education. From the perspective of educators, we argue that curricular flexibility, having as input the core curriculum and local and global challenges, can build an education with social responsibility and applicability.
