Discussing the origin of popular universities in France in the nineteenth century and Portugal in the twentieth is the purpose of this article. The idea of training for workers gained proportion after the French Revolution (1789), specifically, after Condorcet's Public Instruction project and the developments of the Paris Commune (1871). However, as a space of their own, universities were created in 1896 with George Deherme and with the Bolsas de Trabalho, by Fernand Peloutier. Based on these notes, the work focuses on understanding the origin of these institutions, their expansion in France and their influence in Portuguese lands. This research is historical in nature, based on Cultural History and seeks to demonstrate the emergence of Popular Universities, identifying how they were idealized, constituted and represented.

Keywords : working-class universities; popular university in France; popular university in Portugal.
