#Ocupa: uma experiência educativa

Abstract

This research begins at a small camping spot set up by Ocupa/Occupy movement as a protest, in the city of Niterói, Rio de Janeiro, on December 2011, and it presents various occurrences that took place on the streets and over networks since then, related to crowd uprisings all over the world, until the events known as Jornadas de Junho, in 2013, in Brazil. A broader context is made through other historical events such as Canudos, the year of 1968, the Zapatista movement, the Global Action Days and the argentine popular uprising in 2001, as well as the Iceland events in 2008, the Arab Spring, the Indignados european movement and the US Occupy. Following this path, the relationships between youths, cities, and networks in the contemporary citizenship practices are investigated through the point of view of the educational practices, as they started being developed globally, in different ways, emphasizing the events that took place in Niterói and Rio. This work presents a cultural-historical perspective, having as methodological grounds the idea of researching with, which presumes the meeting with the other and the alteritary dialogue in the field of research. Starting from the relation between experience and meaning, this text is created dialogically, through the narratives of the Ocupa Niterói movement s participants as subjects, when the possible learning promoted through the experience is investigated
