This article aims to provide new empirical and conceptual background on the theory and practice of Paulo Freire in Chile. The reflection is based on a documentary investigation on the years that Freire lived in exile in Chile. Based on the best available evidence, I will argue that the relevance and significance that the philosophical ideas and pedagogical method of Paulo Freire acquired, both in Latin America and in its global projection, are due, on one hand, to their insertion in contexts that favored its adaptation to various social situations, positively influencing a renewal of policies and practices to improve the relevance and relevance of literacy and adult education programs; on the other, to the renewal of pedagogical methodologies to improve the quality, equity, and effectiveness of the teaching and learning processes. Findings and conclusions are entirely based on historical research and testimonies that account for the significance that the years in Chile had on the ideology and practices of this universal educator.

Keywords : adult education; literacy methods; alternative education; Investigation and development.
