The meetings take place fortnightly and are promoted through Conversation Circles or Culture Cycles (according to Freire’s terminology) conducted by guests (teachers, researchers and professionals in the areas of education, museology, culture and heritage) and, always having as a generating theme one of Paulo Freire’s works or a Freire-inspired project in the field of Museology, Education and Heritage. The group organizes courses and seminars on the work, influence and resonances of Paulo Freire in the aforementioned areas that are open to the general public.
