Investigation in the Educational and Organizational Processes of Popular Movement.http://192.9.200.215:4000/handle/123456789/768This study critically distinguishes between social and popular movements, emphasizing the latter's liberatory, grassroots nature. It advocates for dialectical methodology and participatory research rooted in real-life struggles to achieve structural transformation. Popular movements require conscious organization, critical analysis, and active participation. The ultimate aim is to foster democratic change and empower the oppressed through knowledge and action.A great challenge is presented to social scientists and popular educators How to rive significant support to popular movements in the service of a new vision of society that is a project of historical liberation. In evaluating many of our experiences, we have found that in most cases even though our goal was social transformation our support has contributed only in reforming existing situations but has not set the basis for a true transformation. Cur intervention will address the issue of the contribution of research and education in supporting the consolidation of a popular movement and consequently the supporting of a historical liberation project.enPopular MovementSocial MovementParticipatory ResearchGrassroots OrganizationEconomicWorking Paper
