This article aims to discuss Popular Education within the scope of the Council of Popular Education of Latin America and the Caribbean (CEAAL), considering one of its basic assumptions the political education. The objective is to show how Paulo Freire’s presence, CEAAL’s first president, was fundamental to the formation and performance of this group throughout its history. The arguments are based on the identification of Freirean categories consolidated in the literature and present in the two most recent CEAAL documents in 2018 and 2019. Both documents are the product of the collective of popular educators from 21 countries in Latin America. A simplified lexical analysis was carried out with the Vayant Tools software, based on the word count in each text and compared to the entries in a dictionary on Freire’s work. The six categories identified contribute to a critical review and challenges of political education today from the perspective of popular education.
Keywords: Paulo Freire. Popular education. Political education.
