Many were the reflections provided by the life and thought of Paulo Freire. Questions that sought to touch on the radicality of the problems faced by the educator. His trajectory, from cultural circles in Literacy Campaigns in northeastern Brazil to his institutional experience as secretary of education in the city of São Paulo, raised several themes, centered on the need for the liberation of men and women in the world. A freedom that is constituted by the need for a project of hope. In a context like the one we have been experiencing by the generalized crisis and the coronavirus pandemic, we must reconnect our reflections and action to a creative impetus. Therefore, from Paulo Freire National School, during the months of June and September, will take place the Cycle of Debates 100 years Paulo Freire: A Project of Hope. During these months, the cycle's themes for reflection will be: culture, celebrating the 90th anniversary of Augusto Boal, his theater of the oppressed and his encounter with the pedagogy of the oppressed; the memory of Elza Freire and its importance in the constitution of the Pedagogy of the Oppressed; spirituality, based on reflection on the experience of liberation theology in Latin America and Brazil; the national issue in Paulo Freire and its importance in the world, especially in the global south.
