A EJA como ferramenta de inclusão social

Abstract

This article aims to contextualize the importance of Youth and Adult Education (EJA) in promoting the social, economic, and political inclusion of young people and adults seeking educational improvement. Recognized as a catalyst for individual and collective transformations, EJA emerges as an essential instrument in building a more equitable and democratic society. Using a qualitative methodology, with a diverse bibliographic review, the study highlights how EJA offers concrete opportunities for life change for individuals in situations of social vulnerability. By valuing the experiences and identities of the learners, EJA strengthens their social and professional skills, promoting a more just and supportive society. The article thus reinforces the relevance of EJA as a crucial tool for social inclusion, with discussions and practical examples of its positive effect.
