Childhoods, Social Movements and the City: Urgent Reflections Amid “Compassion Fatigue”

Abstract

This article aims to approach the broad theme of childhood, social movements and the urban environment and its relationship with teacher training processes and the relationship with school curricula, which often disregard what is around schools , from daycare centers, and other forms of political and social organization, as fundamental elements to be developed in a sensitive and in-depth manner in all educational segments: childhood, poverty, indigenous and street populations, urban life, participatory processes, heritage and the city , are themes that are related to the production of the lives of all people, from babies onwards, who also invent and produce cities. There is no intention to present the state of the art or knowledge, but only to touch on important issues and produce thoughts about them. In the end, we seek to guide the display of articles contained in this dossier and that address the topic, offering contributions to the continuity of the debates started here.
