l'éducation populaire - Brazil: the educational work of the landless
(fr, it, pt) [machine translation]
Let's think for a long time: think of the world we want to build in twenty, thirty years
and the struggles that we lead today. What will be left? We often tend to overlook
children's education, yet it is essential for the construction of libertarian communism
project and that this project does not go out with the activists of today. ---- In the
1980s, the Movement of Landless Rural Workers of Brazil (MST) activates tens of thousands
of poor farmers. They and occupy the fields of large landowners, according to the slogan
"land to the tiller". ---- He quickly took to support the education of hundreds of
children who followed their parents in these illegal occupations. To teach them, so we had
to ride wild schools (1,800 in total in the country), with volunteer educators. It is
estimated that a total of 160,000 children have been educated and trained 3,900 educators
- put a fait accompli, the government had to grant operating grants.
Pedagogy of the Oppressed-e
STD-related schools use the pedagogy of Paulo Freire. Other Brazilian social movements
have then taken this practice, including the Movement of homeless workers (TLB).
In reality, this large-scale educational work, to the poorest, from afar. There is a
century, anarchists and trade unionists were building schools for girls and son of the
proletariat, in order to provide them with the values of the world and they hoped they
build. The anarchist and feminist include Angelina Soares, a teacher in the libertarian
schools of São Paulo in the years 1920-1930, and has worked hard to build an emancipatory
pedagogy.
