MOTA NETO, João Colares da. Popular education in Pan-Amazonia: silences and struggles, history and current. Conjectura: filos. e Educ. [online]. 2022, vol.27, e0220060.  Epub Apr 10, 2024. ISSN 2178-4612.  https://doi.org/10.18226/21784612.v27.e0220060.

It seeks to carry out reflections and analyzes on Popular Education in the Pan-Amazon, its silences and struggles, its history and current affairs. The article presents some research results on popular educational experiences in this region, having as object of study the specificities of Amazonian Popular Education in the Latin American context, in addition to the author’s own reflections as a researcher and activist of Popular Education in the region. Methodologically, it is a text with an essayistic character, based on bibliographic and documentary studies on the subject. Some significant records of historical and current experiences of Popular Education in the Amazon are presented and, then, a reflection is built on the teachings that emerge from these multiple popular educational processes. It is concluded that the experiences mentioned here have been fundamental to keep the legacy of Popular Education alive, reinventing it from the Pan-Amazon, its peoples, cultures, territories and struggles, despite the lack of space for more effective articulation between popular educators who work in the region.

Keywords : Popular Education; Pan-Amazon; Paulo Freire.
