This article aims to analyze the experience in the creation of two classes of youth and adult education within the Recyclable Material Collectors Association (ACMR in Portuguese), located in Florianópolis/SC, over the years 2018 and 2019. The author was one of the teachers working at the site and, in addition to personal reports, this text drew on the dissertation by Gabriela Couto (2020), the main academic work about the institution, which includes statements from collectors-students about the classes. Here, the specific context of ACMR is related to the socioeconomic characteristics of professionals involved in the collection of recyclable materials in the country, in order to learn about the particularities of this highly stigmatized profession. Thus, we seek to reflect on the importance of youth and adult education modality for the category of collectors and, specifically, for the workers of ACMR. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In Brazil, there have already been several attempts to eradicate illiteracy among young people and adults through many programs, one of them being very significant, the Brazilian Movement of Literacy - MOBRAL. It was a Program that managed to expand even in the most distant cities of the interior of Brazil. Aware of this reality, the general objective of the work is to situate the political, economic and educational context of the State of Ceará at the time MOBRAL was implemented. It also aims to present popular education movements that occurred before the Military Coup, and also what was happening in the context of Ceará through reports from educators. The qualitative study was theoretically supported by authors such as Paiva (1981), Jannuzzi (1987), Farias (2009) and Gomes (2012). It was used as a source of data collection, interviews done by NUDOC / UFC, with people who worked in the State Education Department. The analysis of the data points to changes in the way education was being conducted in the State at the moment when the dictatorship settles in the Country. The work that was done by these educators had to be interrupted by the fact that their ideas confronted with the ideology of the military. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This text deals with the life trajectory of the educator Paulo Freire, explains his story, not only as a social man, as he is known, but as a human being and educator, based on a bibliographical review made around the story of his life, based on the studies by Sergio Haddad (2019); Moacir Gadotti (2004) and in Freire's own works. This study is part of a Professional Master's Degree in Education research, which investigates the students of a University education course that passed in their school trajectories through Educação de Jovens e Adultos - EJA (Youth and Adult Education). For this study to be carried out, the theoretical foundation of Paulo Freire's concepts was fundamental, which aroused our interest not only in understanding the concepts themselves, but also in knowing their story, getting closer to the life of this popular educator who was dedicated to excluded, oppressed and illiterate.
