This essay is structured around the critique of anthropocentrism. It is a critique that problematizes the limited/restricted construction of the world that this principle imposes upon us, since, without an definite break from anthropocentrism it is not possible to liberate the power of difference within the creative circuits of the various becomings and new ways of existence. Around this, education and curricular entrepreneurship, as well as the formative demands that emerge from these processes, can be of great value, as long as they function as potent ontological, ecological, epistemological, existential, etc. instances, helping us in the composition/configuration of new possible worlds. In this sense, education at the same time, is a critical and creative enterprise, since, in addition to problematizing the existing one, it helps to constitute the new. Therefore, it also consists of a powerful mobilizer/inventor of new ways of life. That said, one understands that one of the ways of liberating the diversity of ways of life, in the current aridity that we find, is to rescue and/or problematize the power of the movements that occur through the possibilities of encounters, because the encounter moves us towards a world that is always in the process of becoming.

Keywords : Education of encounters; Curriculum; Anthropocentrism.
