Abstract
The present article aims to present the welcoming language policies for Venezuelan refugees in Paraiba, throughout a highlight of the issue in the national context. The methodology used is qualitative, using documents and bibliography to support this proposal, which is justified by the relevance of the theme for the understanding of current Brazilian society, in the way it reinvents itself and receives people in refugee situations. Through historical and political contextualization, I will present the main factors contributing to the Venezuelan migratory crisis in the period before the Covid-19, approaching the specific issues that correspond to the Brazilian case, with the creation of the National Program for Interiorization. Next, I will present some aspects of the reception promoted by the state of Paraiba, with special attention to the actions of the project Teaching Portuguese as a Welcoming Language for Venezuelan Refugees and Asylum Seekers in Paraiba.
