LIMA, Lívia Morais Garcia and FERNANDES, Renata Sieiro. Non-formal education and the educating municipality: some socio-community experiences. Acta Educ. [online]. 2019, vol.41, e37380. Epub Mar 01, 2019. ISSN 2178-5201. https://doi.org/10.4025/actascieduc.v41i1.37380.
This article approaches the problematic of the educational processes that happen in the urban space and in the rural space, in the field of nonformal education. The objective is to present and discuss social and community experiences of non-formal education that occur through manifestations and occupations in the urban environment, as well as rural-heritage tourism experiences. Methodologically, this is a qualitative research that explores data constructed through seven examples of public occupations extracted from city contexts and experiences dealing with educational activities in the rural context of three historical farms in the state of São Paulo. The analyzes approximate the experiences in order to discuss the three dimensions of learning indicated by Trilla Bernet: learning to, learning from, learning from. Finally, it considers the limits and scope of such learning and updates the idea of the city as an area of non-formal education under the term and focus of the educating, agent and factor municipality.
