Based on the concepts of project and political-pedagogic project, authors presented a proposal for the development of such a project. The framework includes: the reference, the philosophy, the concept and the structure. The reference is the starting point, meaning the knowledge and critical view of reality; the philosophy represents the faiths and the community's values involved in the project; the concept represents the theory that gives support to the proposal; and, finally the structure establishes the competences and the profile of the professional to be formed as well as the methodologic option for the organization and development of courses and disciplines. The Habermas' theory of communicative action is proposed as a methodology for the development of projects.
