ZALDIVAR, Jon Igelmo  and  UCEDA, Patricia Quiroga. Paulo Freire's journeys to Spain (1984-1994) and the consolidation of the academic field of social pedagogy from the 90s.

Paulo Freire's ideas came to Spain since the 1970s. The first reception spaces were the popular education projects that were being promoted by progressive sectors of the Church and also by the Pedagogical Renewal Movements. Later Freire's ideas were received in the academic field of pedagogy in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Freire's trips to Spain between 1984 and 1994, four trips that are studied in detail in this article, are a key historical source for studying of the presence of the Brazilian pedagogue's thought in the Spanish Faculties of Education. The central hypothesis that we develop in this work is that taking Freire's work as a reference, social pedagogy managed to dig its own space in the academic field of pedagogy in Spain.
