OS CÍRCULOS DE CULTURA EM GOIÂNIA: MEMÓRIAS DA CONTRIBUIÇÃO FREIREANA.

The present article presents the historical pathway of the culture circles developed by the Cities Department of Education of Goiânia-GO in 1990s, aided by Paulo Freire’s work. The bibliographical research needed to build the study used the author’s work, as well as other previous studies about his papers, to better understand the trajectory of the culture circles. Thesis and articles on the experience of educating non-literate adults in the secretariat were also analyzed. Lastly, the documentary research accessed and analyzed files and reports in field notebooks of this literacy project. The reflections indicate that the culture circles were constituted as an important political-pedagogical resource for literacy, which proved to be an alternative space for dialogue about the life and the insertion of adult literacy learners in the community.
