Pré-Colóquio Internacional Paulo Freire Piauí/ Maranhão

Abstract

In contemporary times, the Brazilian political, social and economic situation is divided into ideologically different poles, and in addition to this, the dramatic situation of the pandemic on a global scale requires that governments and society adopt attitudes that do not further aggravate social problems, especially those related to the exclusion of social rights and opportunities for access to information. Researchers, educators, managers and students, amid social isolation, are experiencing an increase in the use of virtual learning environments. YouTube, Google Meet and Google Classroom offer numerous resources that, when used in education, demonstrate educational possibilities for learning, especially during periods of social isolation. Videos, transmitted through YouTube and Google Meet, can, for example, be collected and organized into playlists, lists This work, in the form of Proceedings, seeks to share and socialize the contribution of thirty-eight Expanded Abstracts written and presented at the 1st INTERNATIONAL PAULO FREIRE PRE-COLLOQUIUM PIAUÍ/MARANHÃ (Virtual Event), in a partnership between the Piauiense Forum of EJA, SINTE-PI, SENAC-PI, ADUFPI, CUT-MA, SEDUC-PI, SEMEC-TERESINA, FETRAM/MA, SINTERPUM/TIMON and the Paulo Freire Center for Studies and Research. In it, we reinforce the importance of Paulo Freire's thinking in the training process in the various modalities of education. Spaces like these promote discussions about education that liberates and emancipates historical and social subjects, transforming the tortuous paths of the oppressive-capitalist society into a society with democracy, social justice and inclusion. Despite the health crisis that has spread throughout the world since 2019, forcing a context of the Covid-19 pandemic, celebrating the centenary of Paulo Freire is essential because we recognize the critical situation caused by the health crisis worldwide, but at the same time we also recognize the social, political and cultural crisis that we experience every day in our country, where education is an instrument for maintaining the capitalist mode of production and reinforcing a society divided into classes. We must not close our eyes to social injustice, nor should we condone this oppression. Celebrating Paulo Freire's centenary leads us to reflect, especially on our commitment to life, and to think about this entire scenario of oppression. Paulo Freire is present! Paulo Freire is the Patron of Brazilian Education! He resists and lives!
