Abstract

This paper presents a socio-pedagogical proposition through a workshop called "Basis for the self-managed popular habitat" The workshop is meant for neighborhood base and federal organizations from San Miguel de Tucuman and it is part of an alternative research-action participatory strategy. The workshop took place the 21st and 28th August and 11th and 25th September 1999 and was organized by the research project "Technological Alternatives for the improvement of the Popular Habitat" sponsored by the Research Council and the Faculty of Architecture and Urbanism, U.N.T. This training proposition was stated from a different concept of the teaching-learning process and of the University-Society relationship and most certainly from an unusual vision of the addressed sectors. The workshop allowed for the convergence of "habitat", "organization" and "learning", providing methodology and dynamics for the recovery and treasuring of the popular sectors own identity. Such work was done through a socio-pedagogical way bases on collective learning and knowledge production, which corresponded to a democratic and solidary socio-cultural style. Everything was based on a process in which groups, communities and institutions from the popular sector with the help of external agents, associated themselves to do research, get to know and understand their situation and problems and to propose their own action strategies since they are the true transformers of their habitat.
