Methodological Reflections on PE from a University Outreach Experience

Abstract

This presentation is situated in the field of Popular Education (PE) praxis. In this sense, we propose to share some methodological reflections based on the reconstruction of outreach activities carried out by our team, from a Latin American perspective on adult PE. Initially, we will frame these actions within a comprehensive proposal that articulates different functions of university work linked to outreach, teaching, and research. Next, we will present our theoretical and methodological position regarding PE, and from there, we will focus on the reconstruction of two concrete action experiences. Finally, we will outline some methodological reflections that, we believe, can contribute to discussions in the field of PE, related to the contextualization of training processes, agreements with the groups involved in the process, the search for their role, the various resources used in PE, and its pedagogical potential.
