In 2021, the centenary of the education philosopher, communication 
theorist, and public man, Paulo Freire, is being celebrated by thousands 
of researchers and promoters of a transformative education, all over the 
world.

For his universally recognized contribution, the scientific journal 
Comunicação & Educação will publish the Dossier “100 years of Paulo 
Freire”, a special edition, which should circulate at the end of this year.

Paulo Freire (1921-1997), born in Recife, Pernambuco, is the most cited 
Brazilian intellectual reference all over the world. His extensive work 
is marked by a deep commitment to an emancipatory philosophy of the 
popular strata, through Education.

The Brazilian educator is also a fundamental reference for the theories 
of communication in Latin America. This influence is recognized by 
leading researchers in the area, notably in Latin American cultural 
studies and community, popular and alternative communication. His 
pedagogy based on practice and dialog has been applied to projects in 
the countryside and in the city around the world.

Freire continues to inspire and guide the practice of liberating 
pedagogy in various institutions and social movements, in formal and 
informal education. His praxis in the communication and education 
interface became the basis of thought that contributed to the emergence 
and consolidation of educommunication, as a concept and practice.

In his lifetime, Paulo Freire obtained 29 titles of Doctor Honoris 
Causa, between 1973 and 1996, in renowned universities in 11 countries 
(Belgium, Bolivia, Brazil, El Salvador, Spain, United States of America, 
England, Italy, Portugal, Sweden and Switzerland). After his death, he 
became a central topic of studies and reference for projects by 32 
organizations, in countries in Africa, Europe, Asia, the Middle East and 
the Americas, identified as "Paulo Freire Institutes".

As of April 13, 2012, under Law No. 12,612, Paulo Freire is recognized 
as a patron of Brazilian education. However, the figure of Freire is not 
unanimous, in his own country. Traditionalist sectors try to 
delegitimize the work of the educator, especially for its impact on the 
formation of a youth increasingly committed to justice, the defense of 
the environment and freedom of expression.

For these reasons, Comunicação & Educação considered it fair to give 
space to specialists from around the world who have something to say 
about the protagonism of Freiran thought in the transformation of 
contemporary society, based on an educational project more committed to 
the reality to be changed.

To lead the preparation of this special issue, professors Douglas 
Kellner (UCLA, USA), Ismar de Oliveira Soares (ECA-USP, Brazil) and 
Pablo Nabarrete Bastos (UFF, Brazil) were invited to coordinate the “100 
years Dossier” Paulo Freire ".
