Sinopse

"Education as a Practice of Freedom" was written in 1967, during Paulo Freire's forced exile in Chile. Its main objective is to achieve an education that liberates human beings from the condition of oppression and inserts them into society as transformative, critical, politicized, and responsible forces for all its members.

In addition to an introduction by Francisco C. Weffort and a preface-poem by Thiago de Mello, this edition includes an appendix with examples of existential situations, which, through the Method, enable us to grasp the concept of culture. They are accompanied by drawings by Vicente de Abreu, based on Francisco Brennand's original paintings, which were destroyed by the Brazilian military dictatorship.

In 1963, in Angicos, in the interior of Rio Grande do Norte, three hundred rural workers were taught to read and write in just 40 hours using the method proposed by Paulo Freire. This was the result of the pilot project of what would become the National Literacy Program under the government of João Goulart, the president who would later be deposed in March 1964. In October of that same year, Freire left Brazil to protect his own life. He only returned to the country in 1979, with the democratic opening.

Throughout his career, Paulo Freire has received more than one hundred honorary doctorates from various national and international universities, as well as numerous awards, including the UNESCO Education for Peace Award and the Brazilian government's Order of Cultural Merit. He is a member of the International Adult and Continuing Education Hall of Fame and the Reading Hall of Fame.

"When a formerly illiterate man from Angicos, speaking before President Goulart, who had always enthusiastically supported us, and his entourage, declared that he was no longer part of the masses, but rather the people, he said more than just a phrase: he consciously affirmed a choice. He chose the decision-making role that only the people have, and renounced the emotional resignation of the masses. He became politicized."

Paulo Freire

Paulo Freire (Recife, 1921–São Paulo, 1997) é Patrono da Educação Brasileira. É um dos brasileiros mais célebres e um dos filósofos do século XX mais lidos do mundo, segundo levantamento do Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Escreveu dezenas de livros, entre eles, Pedagogia do oprimido, a terceira obra de ciências sociais e humanas mais citada no mundo, de acordo com a London School of Economics.

Em 1963, em Angicos, interior do Rio Grande do Norte, trezentos trabalhadores rurais foram alfabetizados em apenas 40 horas, pelo método proposto por Paulo Freire. Esse foi o resultado do projeto-piloto do que seria o Programa Nacional de Alfabetização do governo de João Goulart, presidente que viria a ser deposto em março de 1964. Em outubro desse mesmo ano, Freire deixou o Brasil para proteger a própria vida. Apenas voltou a visitar o país em 1979, com a abertura democrática.

Ao longo de sua história, Paulo Freire recebeu mais de cem títulos de doutor honoris causa, de diversas universidades nacionais e estrangeiras, além de inúmeros prêmios, como Educação para a Paz, da Unesco, e Ordem do Mérito Cultural, do governo brasileiro.
