O CÍRCULO DE CULTURA COMO EXPERIÊNCIA DIALÓGICA DE PESQUISA NA EDUCAÇÃO DE JOVENS E ADULTOS.

Sharing a research experience can mean a dialogical, reflective, and cooperative proposition. The present text intends this instigation, aiming at the joint work in the paths of the investigation, in any educational space, with educators who are interested in a methodological path based on a construction supported by Freire's thought and action. It consists of a report and a reflection from an applied research with a qualitative approach, referenced in the epistemological bases of action research, in a methodological proposal experienced in Circles of Culture. This is a study aimed at the collective construction of planetary citizenship, carried out at MPEJA -- Master's degree program in Youth and Adults Education, at UNEB- Universidade do Estado da Bahia, at Padre Confa County School, in Salvador-Bahia. This text begins with the problematization that gave rise to the research presented, followed by the description and analysis of the methodological paths followed, the subjects, and the locus of the research. It substantiates the centrality of Circles of Culture in the investigation trajectory, dialoguing and reflecting on the collected data. It concludes that there is an urgent need for further research in Youth and Adult Education, and for the reaffirmation of Circles of Culture, as a methodological practice for the development of awareness, in the Freirean perspective, and the sharing of a proposition of democratic, critical, and reflexive mediation, structured in dialogue.
