Usually, it is taken for granted that popular education was born in Latin America in the 196os, with the primary representative of it being Paulo Reglus Neves Freire. In this chapter, I will explore the intellectual context that shapes the building of a different education. On the one hand, the theories, and practices of deschooling society. On the other, the building of a 'popular' knowledge through participatory research. I will also refer, very briefly, to methodologies, considering the dialogue as their central element. Finally, the chapter looks at two experiences that can be considered as exemplary of popular education.application/pdf14 p.engAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internacionalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/Deschooling societyLifelong learningNon-formal adult educationPaulo FreirePopular educationParticipatory researchinfo:eu-repo/semantics/bookPartinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
