Paulo Freire and Ivan Illich are prominent figures in contemporary education, who broke the stable system of education. Paulo Freire suggests to stop bank style education and to promote andragogy education, which views both teacher and students equally. Education should be actualized through facing problems and should be able to omit naïve and magic awareness replaced with critical and transformative awareness. Different from Freire, Illich offers to free the society from formal schools. Education should be run in an open learning network. Technical skills can be taught by drilling. In addition, social transformation will happen only if there are epimethean people that are minority in existence.

This paper examines the functioning of and underlying assumptions about digital media in collaborative curriculum design processes in public science and environmental education, and community-designed action research learning programs. The article discusses teaching practices in US rural Northeast Wisconsin among Native Youth learning processes, from the complementation and articulation of formal and informal education to meaningful engagement and participation in science. The focus on the transformative use of digital media in science community education is intended to serve two interrelated purposes: First, it helps to address cultural-historical relations around the production of knowledge and relevant curriculums and pedagogies for rural tribal youth. Second, it intersects with the opportunities for the transferability of activity systems and action research centered around the production of mediational artifacts designed for the collective negotiation between First Nations Tribal communities and western modeled schools, institutions, workplaces, and societal roles. The transferability of this model envisions the incorporation of local actors and institutions in a deep artifact-based dialogue around epistemologies of self-determination and sustainability for Peoples who are fighting for their survival. These propositions take a new level when the transformative power of digital media shifts representations of power in historically marginalized communities, serving a larger activity of reorganizing ecologies of learning in education for culturally distinctive communities of practice.

El presente texto recupera herramientas para una pedagogía de la liberación y promoción de la intersubjetividad dañada en el campo de la salud mental. Nuestra lectura actualizada de Paulo Freire se articula en diálogo con los aportes de Iván Illich y su posición crítica con la patologización del sufrimiento. Ambos autores nos permiten fundamentar una praxis en el campo de la salud mental que hemos llamado arqueología del dolor. Para ello, en primer lugar, se abordan las relaciones entre opresión y salud mental dando cuenta de la colonización de los cuerpos y las mentes por la vía de la sustracción del saber lego, la psiquiatrización y sobremedicación. En segundo lugar, se abordan las prescripciones y adherencias para comprender qué aspectos de la actuación socioeducativa en salud mental asumen la forma de discursos y prácticas de carácter opresivo y qué claves pedagógicas freirianas se pueden tomar en consideración a efectos de revertir dicha condición. En tercer lugar, se presentan las especificidades de los mitos, discursos y prácticas institucionalizadas que reproducen y mantienen la opresión de los sujetos psiquiatrizados, así como algunas condiciones para su liberación; a saber, la recuperación de la palabra y la construcción simbólica de las propias historias de vida. Finalmente, se expone la experiencia de transformación que está suponiendo el movimiento internacional de Hearing Voices como ejemplo de liberación frente a la opresión biomédica.

This paper seeks to demonstrate that the environmental issues were pointed out by George Perkins Marsh at least one hundred years before it become a part of the global agenda in the 1970s. As per our research we can we can clearly state that the negligence given to his book “Man and Nature”, in which he has proven that aggression to nature meant aggression to human life, became responsible for the serious environmental problems that we have today. If a return in time is unlikely to prevent industrial capitalism from following its rite of destruction-production-oppression-consumption all we have is the hope that all of this can be mitigated in some way. We bet on environmental education, mainly mediated by hope and utopia very well outlined by the patron of Brazilian education, Paulo Freire. This article is an essay in which we weave together neglect with hope.

A(s) visão(ões) de meio ambiente tem um papel central na formulação de práticas de Educação Ambiental (EA). Estas implicam diretamente na concepção de ser humano que se deseja formar. A partir destas, é possível estabelecer que tipo de relação entre humanidade e natureza propõe-se fomentar em suas práticas. Assim, o presente ensaio se propõe a discutir as relações entre o conceito antropológico de cultura e as características da consciência crítica, propostos por Paulo Freire, com a visão socioambiental de natureza e a atitude ecológica, discutidos por Isabel Carvalho. Tem-se, com isso, o intuito de estabelecer relações entre a práxis de Freire e uma proposta de EA crítica. The vision(s) of the environment has a central role in the formulation of Environmental Education (EA) practices. These directly imply the conception of human being that it wishes to form. From these, it is possible to establish what kind of relationship between humanity and nature EA practices propose to foster. Thus, the present essay proposes to discuss the relations between the anthropological concept of culture and the characteristics of the critical conscience, proposed by Paulo Freire, with the socioenvironmental vision of nature and the ecological attitude, discussed by Isabel Carvalho. The aim is to establish relations between Freire's praxis and a critical EA proposal. La(s) visión(es) del medio ambiente tienen un rol central en las formulaciones de prácticas en Educación Ambiental (EA). Estas están directamente implicadas en la comprensión de ser humano que se desea formar. A partir de ellas, es posible establecer cuál es el tipo de relación entre la humanidad y la naturaleza se propone a fomentar en sus prácticas. En este sentido, este ensayo se propone a debatir las relaciones entre el concepto antropológico de cultura y las características de la consciencia crítica, postulados por Paulo Freire, con la visión socio-ambiental de naturaleza y la actitud ecológica, debatidos por Isabel Carvalho. Desea-se, así, establecer relaciones entre la praxis de Freire y una propuesta de EA crítica.

Resumo A pedagogia social é uma pedagogia voltada para a libertação da pessoa concre ta, inserida na história. Privilegia a valonzação da comunicação e do diálogo, a confiança na capacidade do ser humano em refazer-se e refazer a história. Nessa perspectiva, a influência de Paulo Freire no âmbito da educação popular, social e comunitária é reconhecida em todo o mundo e está presente nas políticas públicas de cultura e de saúde, por meio de planos nacionais instituídos em todo o territÓrio nacional, mas, curiosamente, não na educação, seu campo de ação e reflexão, no qual a incorporação de seu vasto cabedal ainda é resultante de experiências pontuais e isoladas. De sua relação com a pedagogia popular, Roberto da Silva, professor da Universidade de São Paulo, lembra que, no Brasil, pedagogia social e educação popular não apenas se confundem, mas têm, em Paulo Freire, um de seus pioneiros, ainda que ele não tenha escrito sobre o tema. No presente artigo, pretende-se aproximar o conceito de pedagogia social, desde o horizonte em que ela nasce em meio a revolução industrial alemã, ao conceito de inacabamento, proposto por Paulo Freire e que converge para a valorização e a defesa da pessoa contra toda forma de opressão, autoritarismo ou alienação. Palavras-chave: Pedagogia social. Educação popular. Diálogo. Social pedagogy and the concept of incompleteness in Paulo Freire Abstract The Social Pedagogy is a pedagogy focused on the liberation of the concrete person, inserted in history; privileges the value of communication and dialogue; confidence in the human being's ability to redo him/herself and redo history. In this perspective, the influence of Paulo Freire in the field of Popular, Social and Community Education is recognized throughout the world, being present in the public policies of Culture and Health, through national plans es tablished all over the national territory. Curiously, such influence is not present in Education, Freire's field of action and reflection, in which the incorporation of his vast knowledge is still the result of specific and isolated experiences. Roberto da Silva, Professor at the University of São Paulo, points out that in Brazil, "Social Pedagogy and Popular Education are not only interlinked, but Paulo Freire IS one of his pioneers, although Paulo Freire did not write about the subject." In the present article, we intend to approach the concept of Social Pedagogy, from the horizon in which it arlses during the German industrial revolution, to the concept of 'inacabamento', proposed by Paulo Freire and that converges for the valorization and the defense of the person against all forms of oppression, authoritarianism or alienation. Keywords: Social pedagogy. Popular education.

In Brazil and around the world, the ideas of Paulo Freire have impacted the field of environmental education, at least since the 1970s. It is possible to observe and associate the influence of Paulo Freire, when environmental education emphasizes the political dimension of any and all pedagogic activity, as he so emphatically stated. Another central aspect of Freirean influence relates in particular to the objective that environmental education should make “participation” possible, as advocated by the first documents produced and disseminated by UNESCO. Although the topic of environmentalism, in its best-known sense and definition of the protection of nature and natural resources, was not initially at the core of his pedagogical thinking, a strong concern with the theme can be seen traversing his work in the 1990s. In this sense, the international academic institutionalization of environmental education and the support that this pedagogic and political movement received after the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development, held in Rio de Janeiro in 1992, was crucial for consolidation by means of public policies and projects elaborated by NGOs as well as by the theoretical production and curricular changes that took place in universities around the world, with different thematic priorities, theoretical and methodological focuses, and impact on the population and on the natural and social environment. Since 2009, especially in Brazil and other Latin American countries, dissertations and theses have leaned toward this production, identifying and analyzing the increase of Freirean pedagogy in connection with environmental education, defined as “the political education of citizens.” Political actions in everyday pedagogical practices for social and environmental justice, alongside various other rights (e.g., cultural), are urgent issues to address. The connections between environmental education and Freirean pedagogy have contemporized both, as they clarify the central arguments of Paulo Freire’s political and pedagogic thought, which reaffirmed throughout his extensive production that access to education is a universal right, and that it is by means of education (including the environmental dimension) that political processes for the construction of just, democratic, and sustainable societies are solidified.
