Educación e identidad colectiva

Education and collective identity

Abstract

This article discusses the organization, conception of education, and pedagogical and philosophical principles of the Landless Rural Workers Movement (MST). Moreover, it engages with social movement strategies to publicize the work of schools in settlements and camps in the formation of collective identities. In addition to the bibliographical research with primary and secondary sources, an analysis was conducted on the material published on the website (MST, 2022; 2022a; 2022b; 2022c) and social media of the Movement (MST, 2022d), as well as interviews. The final considerations indicate reviewing the scope of disclosure to favor the expansion of the population's understanding beyond what is reported in the traditional media about the educational objectives and training of the Sem Terra. Expanding the scope of MST publications can make the Movement's pedagogy more visible and help to re-elaborate the Movement's social representations in Brazilian society.
