The construction of knowledge in the university extension from a freireana experience

Abstract

In the molds of capitalist society, the existence of oppressors and the oppressed will always endure, and therefore we can consider that the legacy of Paulo Freire remains current for those who consider themselves educators seeking another possible sociability. Among his thoughts it stands out his persistent reflections on dialogue. We highlight the University Extension Project “NECRIA – Nucleus of Studies and Extension on Children and Adolescents – and the ECA in school”, which carried out along its trajectory an educational action with children of a public elementary school, a guided action in Paulo Freire’s theory. Bringing the foundations of the dialogical relationship in Paulo Freire to understand the challenges experienced by the said university extension project is what is proposed within the limits of this article.
