HADDAD, Sérgio. Novas formas de ativismo social: o que há por trás das mobilizações de rua? O movimento Passe Livre de São Paulo (MPL-SP). e-Curriculum [online]. 2016, vol.14, n.2, pp.572-601. ISSN 1809-3876.  https://doi.org/10.23925/1809-3876.2016v14i2p0572.

This article attends to unravel the form and the meaning of educational practices from one of the movements that gave rise to demonstrations occurred in Brazil in 2013: The Passe Livre Movement in São Paulo (MPL-SP). The MPL identifies itself with the struggle for the “rights to the city,” having as a central issue the claim for no fees in public transportation. Having Popular Education as a reference, this article was based on documents and interviews with three of its members. The results point to the movement’s preoccupation in turning the educative work into one of its main strategies to gather new members, particularly in schools. It also demonstrates a preoccupation with the formation of its militants, being this formation unsystematic and built upon the will and decentralized orientation of the movement’s [base]. This study demonstrates that, in spite of the similarities between these practices and the Popular Education tradition, it distances itself in the sense of the weight that theoretical formation has for the political work within the movement.

Keywords : Popular Education; Non-Formal Education; Movimento Passe Livre.
