Keywords:
Social Work, Popular Education, Participative Action Research, Problem Tree, Social CartographyAbstract
This article is the result of a Participatory Action Research carried out during a professional
internship in Social Work at Universidad Nacional de Colombia, in the pedagogical activities of the
Núcleo de Educação Popular Paulo Freire of the Universidade do Estado do Pará at a long-term
institution for older adults (ILPI – Instituição de longa permanência para idosos) in the city of BelémBrazil. It aims to critically reflect and socialize the theoretical and methodological contributions made in
the Colombian Social Service to the Popular Education with Older Adults in the city of Belém-Brazil. To
this end, participatory methodologies and techniques (social cartography and the problem tree) are exposed as a transdisciplinary dialogue between Colombian Social Work and Popular Education, which
allows the creation of scenarios of popular awareness with older adults of Belém. The results update the
debate on Popular Education and Participatory Action Research, evidencing its validity together with a
population segment little investigated in educational studies, the older adults protected by the State.
