This paper aims to problematize adult education in non-formal learning environments. An analysis of the policies of adult education and training in Portugal is presented, highlighting at local level the potential for personal, social and emancipation intervention practices developed in Community Intervention contexts and associated to the dimension of Lifelong Learning. The participatory action research methodology (IAP) is framed as a route of planning and development of intervention practices. Through the analysis of content to nine projects of Community Intervention between 2014 and 2017, it was possible to conclude that at the level of work developed in non-formal learning environments the focus of Lifelong Learning is reconstructed by practices of participatory action, where the objectives of the intervention arise from the problems of the target audience, their characteristics as a specific social and cultural group, with a view to acquiring the skills and abilities essential to life in society. This paper aims to problematize adult education in non-formal learning environments.

Pretende-se com este texto contribuir para a reflexão e análise da educação comunitária/popular, suportada na ideia de mudança, a partir da qual Freire assume uma praxeologia educativa transformadora. Adentrando na obra Educação como Prática da Liberdade, procuramos compreender os seus princípios pedagógicos na reconstrução dos caminhos de vivência emancipatória, participativa e inclusiva na educação comunitária. Procedeu-se a um estudo exploratório, de natureza qualitativa assente na análise de conteúdo da obra referenciada e outros textos do autor. A narrativa construída sobre o legado pedagógico de Freire para a educação comunitária na contemporaneidade consubstancia a sua relevância para a educação do século XXI. Num tempo marcado por profundas transformações, a filosofia freireana é reconhecidamente estruturadora de um pensamento transformador e organizado que na senda da desocultação do real e na aquisição dos direitos de “ser mais” promove a emancipação e a inclusão.
