• In Event: Reaffirming Critical Education's Commitment to the Radicalization of Democracy and the Constitution of Active Citizenship

Abstract

This research paper discusses activities developed in a school located in a favela in the city of São Paulo, Brazil, and its surrounding community to deal with the issue of flooding. First, This study focuses on critical collaborative research and formative interventio. The analysis is based on categories of description and argumentation, which contribute to the scrutiny of different voices and activities in the respective school and community. Thus, I discuss how collaborative agency contributes to the transforma-tion of the given context: first, how the community becomes involved in the activities of the school, and second, how the school is involved in the activities of the community to overcome the problem of flooding.
