The purpose of this publication is to find a space to get closer educators that work with the reference of Paulo Freire’s legacy, specially, to those who develop projects and actions in Paulo Freire Institute spread around the world.
At the moment we have 180 organizations registered in the “Freirean Community mapping” (http://www.paulofreire.org/mapeamento-da-comunidade-freireana), distributed in 49 countries. Each one in his way tries to turn the world “less ugly and easier to love”, living Paulo Freire’s legacy and reinventing the world.
The objective of the Unifreire Bulletin, little by little, step by step, is to share these experiences, and doing so, start weaving ways and strengthening relationships.
Which actions Paulo Freire’s legacy has inspired? In which manner it has focused in different territories where it is practiced? This sixth edition gives one more step in order to answer these questions.
In this perspective, we share here actions accomplished by the Paulo Freire’s Institutes from United kingdom, Portugal, Austria, from Argentina and Brazil, besides socializing the inauguration of Paulo Freire Institute in Chile, in our Memory section, where we profit to recover a bit of Paulo Freire’s trajectory in that country, during his exile.
Also make part of this edition important actions that are being developed in Italy, where the ties between Freire and Boal have been strengthening; in Mexico, with the project Peasants Schools in Movemnt; in Cabo Verde, where happened the first workshop of the Popular University and Social Movements and, in Brazil, with the IX Freirean Seminar Edition in Joinvile and with the Forum of Studies “Readings of Paulo Freire: Popular Education in Debate”, that will happen in Manaus.
The strengthening of these ties that this publication proposes itself, is only possible with the involvement and participation of those men and women that, committed with the same causes and principles, decide to interlace their stories and paths.
We highlight the important contribution of the Notebooks of Cultural Action (IDAC), which images due to their history, quality, creativity and diversity, will continue being source of inspiration for this periodical. This edition counts, once again, on creations of Claudius Ceccon, to whom we thank effectively.
We thank all of you and commemorate your participation.
Let’s continue to go on. Let’s keep dreaming, sowing and constructing, together
