This research seeks to understand the perception of community members about the process of construction of a family school in the Brazilian Amazon, with an emphasis on Freirean popular education and appreciation of sociocultural knowledge built in praxis. The participatory methodology with generating themes was adopted, with 15 members of the Bailique Agroextractivist Family School Association (AEFAB). The results demonstrate that participating families relate the existence of a family school with the possibility of education for sustainability, reduction of rural exodus and youth permanence in the territory. Despite this, the community's perception is that there is no clarity regarding the decisions made for the implementation of the Bailique Family Agroextractivist School (EFAB) and there is a lack of dialogue between the association's board of directors and the families. The process of idealization and construction of EFAB represents the struggle and re-existence for access to free and quality education for the people of the countryside, the waters and the forest, with the understanding that the school represents the certainty that their rights social aspects are achieved, for this it is necessary to be based on the pedagogy of alternation itself, becoming a space built by the Amazonian riverside peoples, in which multiple actors and social complexities are considered.

Keywords : sustainability; alternation; community organization.
