TRAJETÓRIAS ACADÊMICAS FORMATIVAS ORIENTADAS PELO MESTRE: DA ABORDAGEM TEMÁTICA FREIREANA À EDUCAÇÃO AMBIENTAL CRÍTICO-TRANSFORMADORA

The purpose of this letter is to make explicit the guiding participation of Professor Demetrio in my academic formation process, from undergraduate to graduate. Throughout this trajectory guided by the Master, I discuss the influence of Liberating Pedagogy, based on the Freirean Thematic Approach dynamics, for proposition via thesis and explanation of the concept of Critical-Transformative Environmental Education, based on Freire, based on the Thematic Research and Reduction process through themes generators. In this context, I am bringing up Freirean categories that have gone through this formative trajectory guided by Demetrio, highlighting the implications of his role as a Freirean educator and researcher for the formulation of public policies and educational practices supported by the strong idea that there is an intrinsic relationship between Participatory Democracy and Citizen Education.
