Cadernos CEDES, Campinas, v. 27, n. 71, p. 19-38, jan/abr. 2007.0101-3262e- 1678-7110http://repositorio.bc.ufg.br/handle/ri/12984This text explores a literacy program directed to youth and adults, the AJA-Outreach Project of the Municipal Sec- retariat of Goiânia, developed in partnership with the civil society, universities and other institutions. Part of a municipal public policy to overcome situations of social exclusion, at both emergency and structural levels, it became a front to fight illiteracy in Goiânia. In addition to presenting the role of the State, which rules public policies, and of civil society, the text retraces the ori- gins and structure of the AJA-Outreach Project, showing how it evolved to become a movement for popular education.porAcesso AbertoAlfabetização de jovens e adultosParceria entre Estado e sociedade civilPolítica pública de educaçãoYouth and adult literacyPublic educational policiesState and civil society partnershipArtigo10.1590/S0101-32622007000100003
