Abstract

The global city of São Paulo approved the I Municipal Policy Plan for Immigrants - 2021/2024 (PMI) in August 2020, amid a pandemic. The PMI is an example of paradiplomacy oriented towards popular education and intercultural dialogue, at least from the local government’s public communication perspective. This essay seeks to bring forward contributions to understand whether the education program offered in the city meets the demands of Popular Education, if it fulfils the requirements of dialogue between cultures under unequal situations, as well as the demands of refugee individuals and groups of refugees. Finally, questions are posed to understand whether there is a dialogue between cultures at São Paulo´s public schools. The PMI is aimed at generating evidence that can be incorporated into decision-making processes, especially after the current pandemic stage, to give answers to questions such as: will refugees need to strengthen their resilience capacity in the near future and become more active?
