Abstract

In the last years of the twentieth century and the beginning of the twenty-first century, there have been major economic, political and cultural transformations, which strongly influenced the flow of migrants, drawing public attention in Brazil. A considerable number of migrants, who arrive in the country without speaking the Portuguese language and without any job perspective, seek associations and institutions that provide instruction and guidance to facilitate their settlement in the Brazilian society. In this context, the objective of this article is to discuss how Social Pedagogy and popular communitarian and social Education practices can contribute to the educational process of migrants in state of vulnerability in Brazil. It is urgent to reflect on elements that contribute to practices committed to overcoming obstacles faced by migratory groups upon arrival in the new country. Finally, discuss the importance of practices of Social Pedagogy in the promotion of equity rights between Brazilian citizens and international migrants.
