GUIMARAES, Paula  and  SUMBO, Hernani. PAULO FREIRE AND UNESCO: ANALYSIS OF RECOMMENDATIONS ON ADULT EDUCATION POLICIES. Educ. Teoria Prática [online]. 2021, vol.31, n.64, e31.  Epub Dec 03, 2021. ISSN 1981-8106.  https://doi.org/10.18675/1981-8106.v31.n.64.s16188.

Paulo Freire is a relevant author for adult education policies and this author was stressed by UNESCO in several circumstances and documents. Among these documents, in what refers to adult education, are the Recommendation for the Development of Adult Education (1976) and the Recommendation of Adult Learning and Education (2015). The analysis of the Recommendations is made in this article following the Framework of Lima & Guimarães (2018). This Framework includes the democratic and emancipatory logic that is based on Freire thinking. The question to be answered in this article is the following: what policy and educational dimensions that are to be found in the Recommendations of adult learning and education of UNESCO (1976 and 2015) refer to Freire’s thinking? Following document analysis, policy and educational dimensions of the referred Recommendations are approached, in specific what relates to concepts such as education as freedom practice, according to an emancipatory and democratic nature, that links to problematising education, conscientization and dialogicity.

Keywords : Paulo Freire; Education as freedom practice; Policies of adult education; Policy logics; UNESCO.
