Synopsis – [Educate, Promote, Emancipate: The Contributions of Paulo Freire and Rui Grácio to an Emancipatory Pedagogy]. 

Organized by the Observatory for Education and Educational Contexts Studies Center, the 1st Colloquium on Education Sciences was held in March 2000 at Universidade Lusófona de Humanidades e Tecnologias, under the motto that gives title to this volume. Although not a proceedings book, it brings together a valuable collection of texts authored by some invited speakers. Despite different concerns, issues, and approaches, the edited book will certainly become an important support tool, reflection, and encouragement for research for all those, students, educators, technicians, researchers, or policymakers who are committed to finding meaning for the current school as an instance of education, emancipation, and human promotion, as advocated by Rui Grácio, or as a public space capable of helping to build a more rounded, less angular, and more humane world, as Paulo Freire would say.
