A educação em empreendedorismo é para todos? Uma perspectiva freiriana sobre a educação em empreendedorismo para refugiados
Conteúdo do artigo principal
Resumo
Este estudo investiga como a educação empreendedora pode ser adaptada às necessidades de populações marginalizadas, com foco em um curso desenvolvido para mulheres refugiadas venezuelanas no Brasil. A partir da pedagogia decolonial de Paulo Freire, realizamos um estudo de caso qualitativo para identificar práticas pedagógicas que promovem inclusão, engajamento e empoderamento. Com base em entrevistas, observações e análise de documentos, identificamos três elementos centrais para a experiência de aprendizagem das participantes: linguagem contextualizada, vínculo emocional e mecanismos viabilizadores, como tecnologia acessível e capital semente. Esses componentes favoreceram não apenas a aquisição de conhecimento, mas também a confiança, o apoio social e a aplicação prática dos conteúdos. O estudo contribui para a literatura sobre empreendedorismo de refugiados e educação empreendedora ao propor um referencial baseado na experiência vivida e no reconhecimento mútuo. Também oferece implicações práticas para aceleradoras, ONGs e políticas públicas voltadas ao apoio de empreendedores refugiados e marginalizados.
