Dom JOSÉ MARIA PIRES Foundation: an experience in Popular Education

By Severino B Da Silva and Carlos Augusto Silva Junior

Popular Education has been a fertile ground for countless social segments in their most varied representations. It appears in new contexts as a new pedagogical thinking and doing, being a reference for the political and educational work in the most diverse social movements, both traditional and emerging, in formal and informal education, in university extensions, in centres and suburbs, among other spaces of struggle and social organisation. In the ecclesial field, some progressive movements have built an education committed to the promotion of citizenship, seeking new forms of organisation. In this context, we find the Dom Jos Maria Pires Foundation (FDJMP), in the municipality of Serra Redonda, Para ba. The formation offered by this institution reached young people from all over Brazil in a critical and humanizing perspective, with emphasis on the exchange of experiences, living and studying themes that enabled personal growth and the strengthening of social, political, religious and cultural practices in the light of Freirean epistemological contributions and other contributors.
