This is an essay on the role and influence of the Brazilian educator Paulo Freire in the field of museology, through educational actions and museological processes socially committed to popular emancipation. Some of the Research, Development and Reciprocity of Knowledge activities carried out by the UNESCO-ULHT Chair “Education, Citizenship and Cultural Diversity” in the year 2021 are presented. how the field of museology has reimagined Freirean praxis in its processes, intervention territories and educational projects.
