Therefore, promoted the interface between education and social revolution based on the concept of Demopedia and Integral Instruction, respectively devoleped by Pierre-Joseph Proudhon and Mikhail Bakunin. This study pretends unveiling how Modern School space was converted in a union worker's revolutionary action, collaborating with the objectives of anarchists who elected the Revolutionary Syndicalism as the most adequate tactic for the free society's establshiment.
