Abstract

XAVIER, Cristiane Fernanda. UNIVERSITY OF THE PEOPLE (1946-1957) ADULT EDUCATION AND DEMOCRATIZATION OF SOCIETY IN PASCHOAL LEMME’S POLITICAL EDUCATIONAL PROJECT. Rev. Bras. Educ. [online]. 2018, vol.23, e230057.  Epub Sep 11, 2018. ISSN 1809-449X.  https://doi.org/10.1590/s1413-24782018230057.

This paper analyzes the meaning and motivations for which Paschoal Lemme (1904-1997) highlighted the role of adult education in society’s democratization process, evidencing the reverberation of his ideas at University of the People (UP). From the intertwining of sources - report, booklets and newspapers from that time, the Memories of Lemme and part of his intellectual production - I consider that Lemme’s project of society innovated by associating adult education, political participation and improvement of worker’s economic conditions, and that UP’s educational model was the one that best translated the aspirations of the Educator.

Keywords : Paschoal Lemme; University of the People; adult education.
