Popular movements and their educational praxis. Contributions to think about youth and adult education

Abstract

This work is based on the extension and research experience of our team together with popular social movements. For several years, we have been inquiring about their educational praxis, paying attention to the formative aspects of their daily activities, and analysing the systematic processes of formation and the approach to schooling in these movements. We conceive all these instances are significant spaces for the construction of subjectivities. From this perspective, we understand that the experience and the pedagogical reflection that we have developed in tandem with the movements can contribute with significant dimensions of analysis to think about the practices that occur in other scenarios within the field of Youth and Adult Education (EDJA3 ). These dimensions refer to the ways in which the meaning of educational activities is constructed, to the decisions related to what and how to learn considering the relationship between knowledge, life, experience and doing, and toe the subjective dimension and the place of the subjects in the educational processes.
