0145/2019 - Vitor Valla: uma vida de reflexão e militância em educação popular e saúde. Victor Valla: a life of reflection and militancy in popular education and health.
O presente artigo busca estabelecer uma narrativa sobre alguns aspectos da trajetória acadêmica e militante do professor e educador popular Victor Valla, tendo como destaque, uma problemática assinalada por ele em vários textos e debates, sobre a recorrente incompreensão de alguns pesquisadores e técnicos (assistentes sociais, educadores, médicos, enfermeiros, etc.) sobre às classes populares e suas falas. Valla ressaltava a existência de produção de conhecimento, para além do circuito tradicional das universidades e centros de pesquisa, especialmente no âmbito das classes populares, que, para ele, estaria imbricada em suas práticas. Neste sentido, advogava uma nova postura teórica e metodológica para os projetos sociais, educacionais culturais e de saúde junto aos grupos populares, o que seria totalmente coerente e compatível com as premissas de um sistema de saúde democrático e equânime apregoado pelos envolvidos com a área da Saúde.

Abstract:
This article aims to establish a narrative about some aspects of the academic and militant trajectory of the teacher and popular educator Victor Valla, highlighting a problem he has pointed out in several texts and debates about the lack of understanding of some researchers and technicians (social workers, educators, doctors, nurses, etc.) about the popular classes and their speeches. Valla emphasized the existence of knowledge production, beyond the traditional circuit of universities and research centers, especially among the popular groups, which for him would be embedded in their practices. In this sense, he advocated a new theoretical and methodological position for social, cultural and health education projects with the popular groups, which would be totally coherent and compatible with the premises of a democratic and equitable health system compatible by those involved with the area of health.
