The “Fight also teaches you”: teaching-learning processes within the framework of Argentine social movements

Abstract

In this work we discuss the social movements as educational spaces, taking into account that the participation in them promotes development of several teaching-learning processes. Using the methodology of Oral History and Participative Observation, we investigate participant's experiences in three Argentinean social movements: Movimento de Mulheres em Luta; the Corrente Classista e Combativa; and the Neighborhood Assemblies. These participants, women and men, can recognize various learning processes during social movement’s engagement process, pointing out the need to undertake a cultural transformation that allows the deepening of the democratic process.
