NERY CARNEIRO, Everton  and  ZEFERINO, Jefferson. Towards a pedagogy of gratitude: some reflections stemming from Karl Barth and Paulo Freire. Rev. Cubana Edu. Superior [online]. 2021, vol.40, suppl.1  Epub Nov 01, 2021. ISSN 0257-4314.

This work, based on a bibliographical analysis, faces the challenge to think a humanization culture aiming at constructing a pedagogy of gratitude drawing from Karl Barth’s theology and Paulo Freire’s pedagogy. This pedagogy of gratitude translates the will to produce a humanist culture of care and love of the neighbors in their diversity. So, it is also an existential pedagogy that comprehends life and alterity as a grace. There is a focus on creativity, reconciliation and hope as outcomes of gratitude. In this sense, co-humanity reflects in a practical way the act of caring as the center of gratitude ethical dimension. Therefore, we consider the existence of a gravity center disposition in which by being with the other, acknowledging and welcoming one’s own incompleteness, it is possible to be more.

Keywords : co-humanity; act of caring; pedagogy of gratitude; be more; public theology.
