(en) France, Alternative Libertaire AL #252 - Special Dossier
Editorial: Everywhere, popular education (fr, it, pt) [machine
translation]
A dossier coordinated by Auréline (AL Toulouse), Adeline (AL Paris northeast) and Tudy (AL
Savoie). ---- The libertarian conception of social progress based on individual and
collective emancipation of individuals. It has nothing to do with the avant-garde or
authoritarian vision. ---- This is why educational issues are central to the libertarians,
far beyond the strict school system throughout life, individuals are called to form their
political consciousness and emancipation from domination mechanisms. This is precisely the
objective of public education, whose practices are inscribed in the DNA of the libertarian
movement. ---- Popular education does not exist "in itself". It is a process that can be
found in a variety of places - and instead be away places who nevertheless claim it.
This approach, as we understand it, is necessarily political; it is to decrypt domination,
to become aware of the place that one occupies in society, learn to be collectively
against-power experiment its ability to act.
What is referred, it is not only the development or personal growth: it is the individual
and collective emancipation, and the transformation of society.
This special report is trying to get around the issue.
It presents the history of different approaches to popular education in France, from
seeking similar currents outside France - the term "popular education" seems in fact exist
only in French - and defines a number concepts.
It also proposes a trip to places where we can find - or not - of such practices: in the
registered sector "Youth and Popular Education" in the school system, in the sphere of
work on places of production and cultural transmission and in the neighborhoods.
