Abstract

This article, constructed from the meeting of the authors with the work Pedagogy of the oppressed, by Paulo Freire, constitutes three moments: the link of the work with the context of Popular Education, based on Streck and Esteban (2013), Streck (2009) and Carrillo (2013); the interface with the Theatre of the oppressed,  based on Boal (1991, 2009);  and, finally, the Freirean inspiration in teaching children to read and write, according to the Department of Education of Ceará (198-). Based on Bourdieu (2006), this is a study that has as reference the social trajectories of the researchers who, through dialogues and reflections raised by the work, express their personal, professional and teaching practices. Constituted from a literature review, the text hopes to weave some dialogues and contribute to the production and research inspired by Paulo Freire’s work and his Pedagogy of the oppressed, with a view to providing an update source for readers.

Keywords: Paulo Freire. Pedagogy of the oppressed. Critical thinking.
