Youth and Adult Distance Education: An Experience at the Former Quilombo of Cabula

Abstract

Youth and adult education (YAE) is a type of basic education and is aimed at people who have not concluded their studies at the established age as the regular standard in Brazilian education. It follows the same legal determinations as the other modalities of basic education, but with several particularities. Youth and adult education dialogues directly with the world of work and the productive context, and it can contribute to the empowerment of the subjects. It is at the service of the most vulnerable people, and it leads to exercising full citizenship and a citizen culture. In this article, we will discuss youth and adult education, in the light of the authors Freire (2016a, 2016b, 2021; Carreira (2014); Arroyo (2017); Haddad (2000), among others, about social constructivism supported by Vygotsky (2004) and educational possibilities of a web channel for youth and adult education at the Sesi (Social Service for Industry).
