Ideias de Paulo Freire aplicadas à Comunicação popular e comunitária 1/ Paulo Freire's ideas applied to popular and community communication

Study of community and popular communication in organizational practices of social movements in Brazil. It aims to carry the basic assumptions of liberating education in Paulo Freire to those of popular and community communication and discuss its presence in social movements. It also aims to relate the organizational and communication practices of these movements to the knowledge construction process. The study is based on bibliographic and documental research, and in-depth interviews in the form of life stories in conjunction with community leaders. We conclude that the pedagogical assumptions of liberating education resonate in social practices and popular communication in order to transform reality and achieve collective interests.
