Abstract

This essay is an analysis of six pedagogical letters received between October and November 2023, following the invitation letter sent to women who graduated from the Youth and Adult Education (EJA) program and are pursuing a degree in pedagogy. The letters were inspired by the work of Paulo Freire particularly the epistolary writings in "Pedagogy of Indignation: pedagogical letters and other writings" (2000), and present accounts of the academic and personal lives of women who completed EJA and entered university. The study emphasizes the importance of Freirean methodology in EJA, which values the life experiences of students and promotes a liberating and transformative education. The analyzed letters reveal how education positively impacted these women's lives by providing them with new opportunities and highlight the challenges and triumphs they faced in their educational and personal journeys.
