Abstract

This article is the result of a bibliographic survey of scientific articles, literary profile and an interview with the former mayor of Conde-PB, Márcia Lucena, in order to seek alternatives and discussions that enable literacy in a satisfactory and positive way for students of Youth and Adult Education (EJA). Taking into account the few studies found in the scientific literature and seeking to understand more about the subject, this paper aims to investigate, through a review of the scientific literature, the historical trajectory of EJA in Brazil and present the current perspectives for this modality of education, in addition to discussing literacy at EJA and presenting the “AGORA VAI” Project by Márcia Lucena, former mayor of Conde-PB. That said, through exploratory research, carefully analyzing and evaluating the scientific support of the materials studied, focusing on teaching-learning and social practices, the importance of a meaningful study that transmits to the adult through a methodology that encourages interest and learning in the classroom. In this way, the educational institution encourages the student's interaction with social reality in a way that focuses on the development of literate, autonomous people with a critical sense of social realities. Furthermore, we base the discussion on the considerations of Geraldi (2015), Antunes (2003; 2007; 2009; 2014), Rojo (2012), Pimenta (2009) and Freire (2022).
