SUMMARY:

In this research, the Favelas News Agency is the focus. I seek, throughout the work, to analyze how the ANF contributes as an education promoting agent, since it carries out an educational work although not formal in which it dialogues at all times with the peripheral youths. Through actions such as the RACC (Network of Community Communication Agents), the ANF reveals itself, in addition to being a space for Community Communication, also a place for Popular Community Education. As agenda meetings for the newspaper take place, debates are held, texts are written, courses are taken, a movement of production of subjectivities is generated that the Agency carries out in its interlocutors: from awareness, they reach organization and practical reflection, which makes the subjects mobilize for the transformation of their own reality. To contextualize my arrival at Favelas News Agency, however, I provide an overview of Rio de Janeiro’s favela youth, presenting data collected by the Violence Map. The extermination of these youths revealed in graphs and tables speaks to the Eurocentric media discourse, which criminalizes poverty and creates in the most violated youth the figure of a fictional enemy (MBEMBE, 2018), in which especially blacks and the poor are seen as producers of violence. The hegemonic media discourse perpetuates the legacy of the roots of slave-holding Brazil, which indicates the urgency of an anti-racist education, on which I also dedicate part of this work. The ANF, however, goes against the grain. As a participant observer, I had the opportunity to get to know the ANF, which operates as a counter-discourse about favelas and their youth, informing and reporting the favela from the inside, with a non-criminalizing, but democratic, popular, collective vision. In practice, it gives visibility to what young producers of culture create, carries out a work of Community Popular Education - which is beyond the school walls - and contributes to the subjects building their own emancipation, collaborators or readers, from the action-reflection on reality itself. Through the newspaper The Voice of the Favela, RACC, the portal, each project and each new article, the Agency democratizes access to information and communication, giving voice to the favela and leading its people. The methodology adopted was ethnography and the theoretical framework adopted were the perceptions of authors such as Mbembe, Freire, Brandão, Gohn, Gadotti, Almeida, Gomes and Peruzzo.
