The subjects of this research were the teachers of the reading room who participated in the formative processes. The theoretical framework that bases the study is the pedagogical thought of Paulo Freire for the relevance of his contribution to intercultural studies, associated with propositions of authors that align with this field of knowledge, Fleuri (2000) and Candau (2009).
