Seminar Miguel González Arroyo, Emeritus Professor of Federal University of Minas Gerais, Brazil May 10th, 2010, 17:00, CES Seminar Room, 1st floor, Coimbra Within the Democracy, Multicultural Citizenship and Participation (NEDCMP) Research Group Free entrance – Participants will receive a certificate of participation This seminar intends to consider the following questions: which is the relationship between popular education and its origins (beginning of 1960’s) in Latin America and the rural and urban social movements of that time? How does the popular education movement see popular sectors and which pedagogies does it favor? How do the “new” social movements rethink the ways in which they are considered and taught? How do they radicalize their production processes as nonexistent? How do these processes react and assert themselves as existent? The basic assumption is that it is within the context of these presences, tensions and struggles that social movements create and reinvent pedagogies.
