Informal Learning for Citizenship Building in Shared Struggles for Rights: Cases of Political Solidarity Between Colombian and Spanish Organisations

Abstract: Dominant discourses and practices in international cooperation have been characterised by depoliticisation and unequal power relationships. However, a number of more transformative experiences of cooperation also exist, where joint work between Northern and Southern social organisations is linked with a more political perspective. These kinds of experiences can be considered processes of informal learning in social action: through shared actions, strategies and frameworks and through interaction between organi… Show more

“…For instance, Ilsley (1990) took a sample of volunteers and found three types of learning outcomes: (a) instrumental learning, which is related to acquiring the skills necessary for voluntary work; (b) social learning, which is linked to communication, respect, compassion and openness; and (c) critical thinking, which is associated with a reflection on personal and societal values and priorities. More recently, Belda-Miquel et al (2016) used samples that included a wider range of civic organizations and found similar results in terms of learning outcomes, including instrumental skills, social competences, and a broader understanding of the community and society as a whole.…”

“…Foley's book (1999) makes a vital contribution to theorising and making explicit these incidental learning processes arising from and contributing to engagement in a range of social struggles, recognising its importance, its complexity, its non-neutrality and its unavoidable link with ethical judgements and choices. Based on this definition, adult learning in processes of social action can be described as emergent, informal, non-planned, tacit and incidental, based on dynamic relationships, and embedded in power relations (Belda-Miquel et al, 2016). Holst (2002) remarks that through a participation in a social movement, people learn numerous skills and ways of thinking analytically and strategically as they struggle to understand their movement in motion.…”

“…En la Figura 14 he definido la CTnN. Posteriormente, he explicado cada una de las características que tiene (Altamira, 2016 y Altamira y Boni, 2020) y que están en sintonía con la Cooperación Transformadora o Emancipadora (Fernández, et al, 2014y Belda, et al, 2016 Resulta necesario profundizar en estas prácticas, mediante un seguimiento y evaluaciones continuas que permitan verificar si, aun siendo acciones concretas, están incidiendo en el modelo dominante. Estos cambios concretos requieren estrategias a medio y largo plazo, superando la lógica de los proyectos puntuales y apostando por procesos.…”

“…Todo lo contrario, han abierto posibilidades y nos han ayudado al resto a visualizar nuevos futuros posibles, cargados de esperanza. La CTnN supone un avance respecto a la Cooperación Transformadora o Emancipadora (Fernández, et al, 2014y Belda-Miquel, et al, 2016. Si bien comparten la gran mayoría de sus características, como ya he explicado en el apartado 3.4., la CTnN aporta unas novedades que, desde mi punto de vista, abren nuevas posibilidades: i) es ambiciosa y valiente; ii) el sujeto político de la DSG; iii) con organizaciones que provocan cambios y que incorporan la DSG a su cultura organizacional; iv) las subjetividades, los sentires, vivires y deseos; y v) con una perspectiva feminista y con un enfoque interseccional.…”
