During the preparation process her illness got worse, therefore Mrs. Telles was not able to work on the project any more. Sueli Costas Dantas was highly engaged, but due to the lack of academical structures she wasnt´t able to realize the organisation of the originally planned workshop. Therefore this workshop was replaced by the workshop „UNIVERSIDADE – SOCIEDADE” which took place in Sao Carlos. Ioshiaqui Shimbo and Ana Lucia Cortegoso, the coordinators of the Incubadora of the University of Sao Carlos, were gained as new collaborators. Also due to an illness Carlos Winckler wasn´t able to fulfill his obligation to organize a workshop in Caxias du Sul. Therefore it was necessary to change the original project plans. The third workshop finally took place in Recife with the collaboration of Ana Cristina Fernandes. At least Carlos Winckler could participate as speaker at the two workshops in Sao Carlos and Recife. 6 2 PROJECT PROGRESS DUE TO WORKPLAN 2.1 Research Seminars on “Knowledge economy and sociospatial polarisation” Type: Research Seminar Title: Wissensökonomie u. sozialräumliche Polarisierung in Wien und Recife Date: 01.03.2008 - 30.06.2008 Place: Vienna University of Economics and Business Administration Seminar leader: ao.Univ.Prof. Dr. Andreas Novy Assistance: Magª. Michaela Hauer Type: Research Seminar Title: Knowledge economy and sociospatial polarisation in Recife and Vienna Date: 19.03.2007 – 10.07.2007 Place: Universidade Federal de Pernambuco Seminar leader: Profª. Ana Cristina de Almeida Fernandes Assistance: Magª. Pia Lichtblau 2.1.1 Aims of the Research Seminars The main aim of the seminar was to indentify “bridges” in topics and aspects which seem to have nothing in common and to question and investigate them: namely the relation between knowledge economy and socio-spatial polarisation. A dialogue, joint discussions and virtual communication between Brazilian and Austrian students have taken place. Students have learned thinking in a coherent way using dialectical concepts and avoiding a mechanistic and dualistic way of thinking. The first point should be trained on the one hand in thinking about a connection between knowledge economy and sociaspatial polarisation and on the other hand in the effort of comparing Vienna and Recife. Relating two apparently separated topics, as well as geographically separated cities is an endeavour of bridge-building in different aspects. Bridge-building signifies overcoming simple forms of thinking in dualism. Reflection and discussions to the concepts “economic – social”, “rich – poor”, “centre 7 – periphery”, “freedom – equalitiy”, “efficiency – justice” and “competitiveness – inclusion” were part of the course. While the seminar in Vienna was held in German and English, the Brazilian seminar was held in Portuguese and English. The results of the research seminar were documented by the students in seminar papers written in English. 2.1.2 Process and Results of the Seminar In Vienna as well as in Recife the seminar was introduced by the joint discussion of articles. Each group of students (max. 4 persons) had to give a short overview about one or two texts to initiate the discussion. Afterwards students had to summarise the outcomes of these discussions in short articles and post them in the weblog created for seminar participants: http://viennarecife.twoday.net/. In Vienna 14 students took part in the seminar. 4 research groups (3-4 students each) were formed at the beginning of the course. Additionally to the literature overview each group had to accomplish an independent field research related to the following topics: 1. Knowledge economy in Vienna 2. Social Polarisation in Vienna 3. Alternatives for socioeconomic development in Vienna 4. Sociospatial polarisation in Vienna Finally, the field research of the students was presented and discussed. The presentation of their results of the dialogues and interviews in the institutions (the groups were rationed to investigate governmental, non-governmental and alternative institutions concerning knowledge and education) were inspiring. After giving an overview of the main tasks of the organisation/institution and its role in education the students presented their interview results and talked about difficulties and positive experiences concerning the interview situations and the dialogues with the conversational partners. One main aspect was to find out the attitude of the interview partner representing its particular organisation towards learning, education and knowledge economy. To find out its perception of learning and knowledge as cause of socioeconomic polarisation was also important. It came out that it is quite common in most of the organisations, especially governmental organisations, to reduce reality to certain aspects, namely to THEIR aspects. The ones dealing with economically 8 useful knowledge, high tech and innovation care just about these aspects and those dealing with social aspects and injustice stay in their field as well. In Recife 8 students – mainly from the masters programme of geography participated in the seminar and 2 research groups were formed. The main focus was on identifying indicators for sociospacial polarisation and knowledge economy and the relation between these aspects. In a second step the students analysed the situation of Recife regarding sociospatial polarisation and compared Recife and Vienna respectively Brasil and Austria regarding indicators of knowledge economy. It turned out that socio-spatial polarisation in Recife is clearly defined; and that Vienna / Austria is far better off regarding indicators of knowledge economy than Brazil, as one could have expected. A final activity included interviews with representatives from the local government and the local industry sector. The results of the university seminar were presented by the students at the seminar “A interação entre sociedade do conhecimento e polarização socioespacial para fortalecimento da cidadania” in Recife and are also the subject of two papers produced by the students. 2.1.3 Problems During the duration of the seminar (one semester) the students of both countries were fostered to communicate with each other via mail, skype, weblog (http://viennarecife.twoday.net/). Unfortunately this opportunity for intercultural communication and exchange was not accepted by the students. On the one hand this was based on a linguistic problem and therefore a principal shyness to communicate in a foreign language, i.e. English, on the other hand the complexity of the message “building bridges between different worlds” was understood by the students only at the end of the course. Due to these problems and the complexity of the topic we decided that the students didn’t have to include transatlantic comparisons in their research papers. However, they should read the contributions of their colleagues and compared the results with them.

Pia Lichtblau 2.2.1 Aims The Comunidade Kolping São Francisco de Guaianazes is an educational center in Guaianazes, at the periphery of São Paulo which runs different education projects. Pia Lichtblau visited the Comunidade to research about methodology and impacts of alphabetization courses. 2.2.2 Process and results The alphabetization program “Saber mais” (Knowing more) organises alphabetization courses for the inhabitants of Guaianazes. Pia Lichtblau visited the educational centre and three courses, which are held in different rooms near the living space of the participants. “Saber mais” has about 450 groups with more than 11.000 participants. The groups are self organised, classes are hold by “educadoras populares” (“popular teachers”), not by professional teachers. The Comunidade Kolping supports these educadoras populares with teaching material, courses for teachers etc. and does the coordination of the whole project. As the groups are self organised already the founding of a new group by its members has to be seen as emancipatory act. Therefore one strategy of NGOs in the field of emancipatory education should be to foster these emancipatory processes by creating a positive public opinion regarding social problems. An article outlining the findings of the study visit has been published on the Website of the Paulo Freire Zentrum / Vienna (in German): http://www.paulofreirezentrum.at/index.php?Art_ID=496 2.3 Study visits in Assentamentos and Acampamentos Type: Study Visit Title: Assentamentos and Acampamentos in Pernambuco 10 Date: April 2007 Place: Pernambuco Visitor: Magª. Pia Lichtblau 2.3.1 Aims The study visits aimed in researching the role of education in the broadest sense in the process of land occupations, forming communities etc. 2.3.2 Process and results Together with staff members of the Commissão Pastoral da Terra (CPT) Pia Lichtblau visited two Assentamentos (settlement of land occupants) and one Acampamento (camps of land occupants) in the surrounding of Recife / Pernambuco. She accompanied the CPT staff in their regular work, observed the assemblies of the occupants, spoke to occupants and discussed her impressions afterwards with the CPT staff. The most important problem that was mentioned by different occupants is the challenge for former homeless persons to learn to trust others, to form a community with others and to cooperate in a constructive way. Therefore not only factual knowledge has to be transferred to the occupants, but not less important is a kind of coaching and mentoring to develop group dynamics. An article outlining the findings of the study visit has been published on the Website of the Paulo Freire Zentrum / Vienna (in german): http://www.paulofreirezentrum.at/index.php?Art_ID=516 11 2.4 Public Seminar “A interação entre sociedade do conhecimento e polarização socioespacial para fortalecimento da cidadania” Type: Public Seminar Title: A interação entre sociedade do conhecimento e polarização socioespacial para fortalecimento da cidadania Date: 29.06.2007 Place: Universidade Federal de Pernambuco Seminar leaders: Profª. Ana Cristina de Almeida Fernandes Magª. Pia Lichtblau Prof. Ana Cristina Fernandes and Pia Lichtblau organized a seminar with the title „A interação entre sociedade do conhecimento e polarização socioespacial para fortalecimento da cidadania“. The seminar took place on 29th of June, 2007, at the Universidade Federal de Pernambuco (see folder and poster) with the participation of more than 70 persons, including official representatives of the Prefeitura, the Universidade Federal de Pernambuco and the Universidade Rural de Pernambuco as well as a number of students of different disciplines and representatives of NGOs and social movements (see list of participants). 2.4.1 Aims of the seminar a. to show interdependencies between sociospatial polarisation and neoliberal educational politics of the so called „Knowledge Society“ b. to discuss how educação popular as a means and universities as institutions can contribute to reduce these inequalities c. to initiate a dialogue between policy makers, teachers and researchers to confront ideas and visions and to deepen mutual understanding 2.4.2 Process and results Ad a.: The Students who completed the Seminar “Knowledge economy and sociospatial polarisation in Recife and Vienna” presented the outcomes of the research groups. Ad b.: One possibility to reach this goal are „Incubadoras“ – already set up at 12 different public brazilian universities. These are institutions which function as an interface between university and society via doing research together with rural communities, NGOs, social movements etc. Profa. Ana Dubeux, the general coordinator of INCUBACOOP (incubadora at the Universidade Rural) described the experiences with rural communities and urban cooperatives. Ad c.: At the end of the seminar several representatives of the UFPE expressed their willingness to set up an incubadora at the UFPE in cooperation with Profa Ana Dubeux, who offered the assistance of INCUBACOOP. For this purpose three meetings have already taken place to discuss the process of creating and developing together the set up of a new “Incubadora”, the philosophy of work, possibilities and resources (financial and human) and support of diverse institutions of the ministry of labour and others. Futhermore already a draft proposal has been sent to PROGRAMA NACIONAL DE INCUBADORAS DE COOPERATIVAS POPULARES – PRONINC to apply for grants and assistance.

Pia Lichtblau 2.5.1 Aim of the workshop The workshop was targeted on persons who are working actively in (adult) education or are working about it on a theoretical level. The aim was to discuss what emancipatory education could be and how it could be implemented into the own education work. 2.5.2 Process and results About 20 participants took part in the workshop – teachers, students, adult educators and university professors. In the first step the ideas, principles and methods of Paulo Freire were discussed, while in the second part of the workshop working groups of 4 to 5 persons discussed the relevance of Freire for educational work in different settings. In the plenary discussion at the end of the workshop it turned out, that implementing Freires ideas needs to change the way of thinking about education. Some strategies to do this for example in youth education projects which aim on drug and crime prevention were developed. 14 2.6 Expert Seminar “Popular Education today” Type: Expert Seminar Title: Popular Education today Date: 13.09.2007 Place: Paulo Freire Zentrum, Vienna Seminar leaders: ao.Univ.Prof. Andreas Novy 2.6.1 Aims of the Seminar The seminar aimed on discussing the question how academic knowledge and critics of ideology can be connected with practical knowledge. 2.6.2 Process and Results Andreas Novy, scientific director of the Paulo Freire Zentrum, opened up the workshop with the following core questions: − What can Austrian educators learn from Brazilian experiences? − How can academic knowledge become relevant? − Relationship of vocational training and political/ideological education? − How can learning contribute to participatory economic agency? − How can emancipatory education take place in the context of an authoritarian organisational setting (within school, state and firm)? Andreas Novy, Ana Cristina Fernandes, Michaela Hauer and Pia Lichtblau presented the project “Popular education today”; afterwards the participants, members of different universities, social movements and organisations acting in the field of popular education from different European Countries, Brazil and Australia, commented the experiences discussing the core questions. Stijn Osterlink, from Leuven university (Belgium) commented the morning presentation, emphasising the importance of linking local initiatives (eg. ecological movements) to broader 15 transformative agency (changing structures). Ken Arthur from Wales emphasised the importance of knowledge exchange and knowledge sharing as prerequisites for democratic economic agency. His experiences from cooperatives in Wales gave practical examples of solidarity economy in Europe. Diana Maccallum, from Newcastle, described her experiences with popular education with aboriginal populations in Australia. She stressed the difficulty of consciousness-raising with marginalised groups and the need of integral approaches to development. The seminar united a broad variety of researchers, all of them also involved in practical experiences of solidarity economy or popular education. The seminar, which took place before the Brno transborder seminar, allowed a unique exchange of experiences. It has been documented on http://www.pfz.at/index.php?Art_ID=536 Annexes: - Outline of the seminary - List of Participants - report 2.7 Brno: Trans-Border-Lab Type: Transdisciplinary Workshop Title: Transborder Laboratory for Cooperation from Below Date: 14.-16.09.2007 Place: Brno Seminar leaders: ao.Univ.Prof. Andreas Novy, ao.Univ.Prof. Joachim Becker 2.7.1 Aims The Economic and Society Trust, Paulo Freire Centre, IPE, and the EU Research Projects Demologos and Kartarsis invited critical social researchers and grassroots activists to an experimental transborder laboratory looking at cooperation from below. 16 2.7.2 Process and results Participants from Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, the Czech Republic Hungary, Slovakia, Slovenia, and the UK met at the seminar which was held in Brno from September 14-16, 2007. Split into five parts, the seminar covered many different angles and aspects of cooperation from below, beginning with a look at elitist normmaking in institutions and ending with a look at the work of NGOs. • Norm making in the EU and WTO • EU constitutional treaty and the promotion of the knowledge economy (Lisbon treaty) • Economic development • Borders and transborder cooperation • Human rights What became clear during the laboratory was the fact that social movements need to readdress the ways in which they think and not to shy away from challenging the status quo. What made this seminar particularly interesting was not only the broad range of topics covered over the three days, but also the varied backgrounds of the participants. This variety generated some productive discussions and a true transcontinental sharing of knowledge, with some of the central arguments of the contributions being challenged. The fact that many of the contributions from the experts looked at current issues, such as the reform treaty and knowledge economy, made the seminar remarkable. 2.7.3 Problems The workshop was transdisciplinary, aiming at a twofold dialogue between researchers and practitioners. The exchange between experiences was indeed very rich. However, it was difficult to cover all aspects. Furthermore, the setting privileged researchers.

Pia Lichtblau, Magª. Michaela Hauer The Incubadora of São Carlos started working with grupos populares around 10 years ago and therefore has long-lasting experiences in popular education for cooperatives in solidarity economy. 2.8.1 Aims a. to focus on practical experiences concerning emancipatory education and Brazilian concepts of popular education today b. to focus on theoretical concepts and practical experiences in the field of solidarity economy and solidarity cooperatives c. to learn about the Brazilian model of Incubadoras at different universities with an emphasis on INCOOP/ São Carlos d. to foster an exchange of Austrian and Brazilian examples of use, experiences, concepts and methods in the field of popular education, adult education and emancipatory education e. to initiate a cooperation between the Paulo Freie Zentrum in Vienna and the Vienna University of Economics and Business Administration (e.g. scientific exchange, exchange in practical experiences, provide contacts for students, research programs and future joint and oversea study courses etc.) 2.8.2 Process and Results Pia Lichtblau and Michaela Hauer visited the Incubadora Regional de Cooperativas Populares da Universidade Federal de São Carlos (INCOOP-UFSCar) for nine days. They met the coordinators of INCOOP Ioshiaqui Shimbo and Ana Lucia Cortegoso to initiate contacts and a cooperation with the Paulo Freire Zentrum in Vienna and the 18 Vienna University of Economics and Business Administration. Pia Lichtblau and Michaela Hauer took part in several internal meetings of the Incubadora to get to know the staff, the people working in different sub-groups of the Incubadora and to learn about the functioning, the methods and the aims of the Brazilian colleagues. Furthermore they visited some Cooperatives and work groups based on the principles of solidarity economy, founded and assisted by INCOOP. They met groups of people working in these cooperatives at their workplaces and in their communities and districts. Informal interviews, participating observation, open dialogues and discussions (e.g. about differences concerning Brazil-Austria, education systems, poverty here and there etc.) were part of the stay in São Carlos. Besides Pia Lichtblau and Michaela Hauer prepared together with the coordinator Ana Lucia Cortegoso and staff members of INCOOP, based on common experiences and discussions, the Public Discussion “Universidade – Sociedade”, which took place in October 2007. Prof. Ioshiaqui Shimbo fostered contacts to the coordinators of other Incubadoras and initialized short study visits at the Incubadora Tecnológica de Cooperativas Populares da Universidade de São Paulo (ITCP-USP), the Incubadora Tecnológica de Cooperativas Populares do Centro Universitário Fundação Santo André (ITCP/CUFSA) and the Incubadora Tecnológica de Cooperativas Populares da Universidade Federal Rural de Pernambuco (INCUBACOOP-UFRPE). Pia Lichtblau and Michaela Hauer spent respectively one day at ITCP/CUFSA and INCUBACOOP-UFRPE. Michaela Hauer spent several days in Recife and visited the staff and different solidarity cooperatives of INCUBACOOP-UFRPE. The different experiences made in different Incubadoras and the discussions arised out of these visits increased the mutual understanding of Brazilian and Austrian colleagues, enhanced their contacts and deepened the knowledge and understanding of modern ways of popular education, inclusion through emancipatory (adult) education and solidarity economy. 2.8.3 Problems • The visitors didn’t have enough time to capture the complexity of the topics and to review the sustainability of some concepts and methods of the Incubadora. • Linguistic problems at the beginning 19 2.9 Public Discussion “Universidade – Sociedade” Type: Public Discussion Title: Universidade – Sociedade Date: 31.10.2007 Place: Universidade Federal de São Carlos Discussants: Michaela Hauer, Paulo Freire Zentrum Wien Pia Lichtblau, Paulo Freire Zentrum Wien Carlos Roberto Winckler, Universidade Federal de Caxias do Sul (UCS) Ana Lucia Cortegoso, Universidade Federal de Sao Carlos (UFSCar) Ana Emilia Castro, Universidade Federal de Pernambuco (UFPE) Sílvia Leser, Universidade de São Paulo, Representative of the ITCP-network of incubadoras Representatives of the cooperatives Maria Fuxico, RecriArte und Cooperlimp 2.9.1 Aims a. to invite local experts, activists, representatives of solidarity cooperatives and grupos populares mobilised during research, as well as researchers and special guests from other Brazilian regions. b. to show interdependencies between society and university, society and knowledge society, emancipatory/ popular education and inclusion c. to discuss how educação popular as a means and universities as institutions can contribute to reduce inequalities and poverty d. to picture the model of Incubadoras installed at different Brazilian universities and describe their experiences e. to foster a dialogue between experts of different Brazilian regions and Austria f. to initiate future contacts 20 2.9.2 Process and Results The meeting was well accepted. Approximately 60 to 70 participants, among them students of the UFSCar, representatives of different cooperatives and of the Prefeitura of São Carlos took part in the public discussion. Local experts, university professors of other Brazilian universities and regions and activists gave lectures concerning popular education, solidarity economy, exclusion and inclusion through education and possible “bridges” between society and university. Remarkable contributions (dealing with their experience concerning the cooperation with the Incubadora, knowledge transfer and their work in a solidarity cooperative) were delivered by representatives of Grupos populares. An active discussion between participants and experts on the podium arose. In particular differences and parallels between Brazil and Austria were of interest. Furthermore the crosslinking between university staff of the UFPE (Recife) and UFSCar (São Carlos) could be improved. A new Incubadora should be installed at the UFPE with the help and support of INCOOP/UFSCar. Future contacts, exchange of experience and scientific cooperation between Austria and different Brazilian Universities (particularly UFPE and UFSCar) could be established and strengthened. 2.9.3 Problems The second seminar was originally planned to take place in Sao Paulo, due to health problems of our collaborator Silvia Telles and the lack of academic structure of Sueli Costa Dantas we had to look for other collaborators. Therefore we held the second workshop not in Sao Paulo but in Sao Carlos, in cooperation with Ioshiaqui Shimbo and Ana Lucia Cortegoso from the Incubadora Regional de Cooperativas Populares of the Universidade de Sao Carlos. Annex: Short report in German language. 21 2.10 Final Seminar Type: Conference Title: “Conhecimento e educação popular: diálogos entre saberes e experiências” Date: march, 2008 Place: Recife Seminar leaders: Ana Cristina Fernandes (UFPE/Geografia), Ana Emilia Castro (UFPE/Design), Jonatas Ferreira (UFPE/Sociologia); Students: Priscila Vasconcelos e Saulo Barros da Costa, Andreas Novy (WU-Wien). 2.10.1 Aims Its aims were to gather people from different origins (academic and from social movements) to discuss the extent to which and how popular education is a concrete reference for them to build political autonomy and a more equal society, making use of mechanisms of knowledge democratisation and new technologies that have been made available only for few, higher income social groups. The seminar focused on young people experiences, both from urban and rural areas. 2.10.2 Process and results The conference was a one day activity held at an university venue to which attended many students from various disciplines, both graduate and undergraduate, some faculty and the social groups that have been invited especially for this occasion (see programme). It was organised in 4 sessions, one of which mainly conceptual, and a final one focused on results and follow-ups. It also included an open fair with artisans from a cooperative supported by Prof. Ana Emilia Castro so that the academic public could get acquainted with their experience and products as a result of an emancipatory methodology applied by Prof. Castro and her design students. Results include a public that summed around 100 people and many students interested in joining the activities in the Design and Communications Departments within UFPE which already promote connections between the academic and social 22 groups. Another result is an extension project prepared after the seminar by students in the Geography Department focused on young rural people’s self image and expectations in a rural community in Pernambuco, called Ibimirim. The project, already approved by the University’s Extension Programme, involve a Nongovernment Organisation called SERTA (Serviços de Tecnologia Alternativa) that promotes professional education for rural youngsters based on Freirian concepts of political emancipation. 2.10.3 Problems The second seminar was originally planned to take place in Sao Paulo, due to health problems of our collaborator Silvia Telles and the lack of academic structure of Sueli Costa Dantas we had to look for other collaborators. Therefore we held the second workshop not in Sao Paulo but in Recife, in cooperation with Ana Cristina Fernandes and Ana Emilia Castro. Annex: - Outline of the Seminary - Program 23 3 IMPACTS AND OUTCOMES 3.1 Achieved aims and results The overall goal was activating the „old“ knowledge of Paulo Freire`s popular education for „new“ challenges (solidarian economy and political participation). This can be regarded as achieved. As results were planed and could be achieved: - Scientific documentation of practical experiences of popular education in different contexts in Brazil, through articles - Reflection of scientific results and practical experiences, through transdisciplinary seminars (3 in Brazil, 1 in Austria, 1 in Czech Republik). Furthermore, we planed to realize a joint proposal for an international research project. This result was replaced by the plans to built up an incubadora at UFPE, 3.2 Relevance of results 3.2.1 Scientific quality and value Relevance for development cooperation policy and scientific issues of sustainable development relevant to the respective partner country and/or region (accordance to scientific priorities of partner country and/or region as defined in their sector programmes): one important scientific contribution the project produced was the discussion on ways of combining theoretical issues regarding popular educationled social and political emancipation with innovation and the knowledge economy as two different approaches to development studies that can be made complementary to each other and not opposed (regarding market and solidarity economies). In fact the project just introduced the issue during both the Austrian and Brazilian seminars, during the public seminars and during the discussions held between both research teams, so that it is now understood that two different approaches do development such as those (knowledge economy and social and political emancipation) expected to be developed in the context of future joint work. 24 3.2.2 Relevance for development Institutional and individual capacity development: During their study visit Michaela Hauer and Pia Lichtblau had several discussions with the different INCOOP project teams as well as one big discussion with the whole staff. This led to a process of reflexion regarding the emancipatory power of their work. These discussions of Freirean methodology can be seen as contribution to institutional as well as individual capacity development. Contributions to local networks and institutions were made through the events in Recife and São Carlos as representatives of different institutions – members of universities, local authorities, grupos populares, staff of NGOs etc. – were brought together to discuss problems and possibilities of future cooperation. Up scaling on a regional level in support of regional networking: Because of the seminar in Recife contacts between representatives of two different universities (Universidade Federal de Pernambuco, Universidade Federal Rural de Pernambuco), local authorities, members of NGOs and members of grupos populares have been initiated. Establishing and strengthening of South-South-Networks: The invitation of representatives from Recife to São Carlos and vice versa initiated contact between the staff of INCOOP (São Carlos) and the involved persons from Recife. Parallel to the organisation of incubadoras in the Rede Universitária de Incubadoras Tecnológicas de Cooperativas Populares (http://www.cooperativismopopular.ufrj.br/redes_itcps.php, 24.6.2008) and the Rede Unitrabalho this is an important contribution to the strengthening of South-SouthNetworks. Establishing of South-North networks: Between the INCOOP São Carlos on the one hand and the involved persons in Recife on the other hand has been established contact on a regular basis to the Paulo Freire Zentrum and the University of Economics and Business Administration in Vienna. Demand oriented research according to needs defined by partner countries: Research in the field of cooperativismo popular and educação popular is seen important by Brazilian authorities – the incubadoras are financed through the program PRONINC which was founded by the state secretary for solidarity economy. Also the movement for solidarity economy has a strong interest in deepening the 25 understanding of the principles of solidarity economy within the population of Brazil and around the world. Observance of gender roles: All visited incubadoras as well as NGOs (CPT, Communidade São Francisco) are working actively in eliminating traditional gender roles. They foster women to participate actively in assemblies, to take responsibility and leadership within grupos populares. There are a number of projects working only with women, for example within the work of the CPT with the landless communities. They aim at strengthening self-confidence of the women. Most of the projects are working well, in the biggest cooperative visited by Michaela Hauer and Pia Lichtblau (Cooperlimp in São Carlos, ca. 260 staff members) the management of the cooperative is done only by women. Also the project Madeirarte (carpenter's workshop near Sao Carlos) is driven only by women who reported on the modification of gender roles through their work. Contribution to poverty alleviation: Cooperatives with the principles of solidarity economy establish a basis for living – people living in favelas, homeless and landless people are enabled to gain their means of subsistence. Building up cooperatives therefore is a strong means in fighting poverty in Brazil. Development or strengthening of local training programmes and research capacities: One aim of the project was to foster scientific exchange between universities which have already established Incubadoras and the UFPE in Recife which aims to build up a new Incubadora. Building up a new Incubadora makes it necessary to develop on the one hand training programmes for the future Incubadora-staff and on the other hand training programmes and seminars for local people, so called grupos populares. Knowledge transfer (in accounting, marketing, organisation, economics, legal aspects etc.), emancipatory education and seminars in solidarity economy are part of these local training programmes. Reflection and discussions to the concepts “economic – social”, “capitalism - solidarity economy”, “centre – periphery” and “competitiveness – inclusion” are part of the training programmes for the Incubadora-staff as well as for local people. Taking part in solidarity economy signifies taking part in research activities to evaluate, improve and advance the efforts and processes of the Incubadora and solidarity cooperatives. Linkage with existing activities of scientific cooperation: Building up an Incubadora makes it necessary to take part in scientific cooperation within Brazilian 26 networks (e.g. Rede ITCPs and Rede Unitrabalho). It fosters also transcontinental cooperation with existing movements of solidarity economy in Vienna, the Paulo Freire Center and the Vienna University of Economics and Business Administration, which takes part in several EU-research projects. 3.2.3 Sustainability Exit strategy after project end: demonstrated sustainability at both ends (Austria and partner country): In Recife, as mentined above, the project followed a twofold perspective: an academic and a “practice” activity. Both were planned in order to put people in contact with empirical and conceptual views of the same subject named social development through popular education. The project helped academics to exchange experience and envisage further ways of approaching their conceptual issues in a more socially responseful manner and helped people from social groups to see the University as one of their partners. In this way, the end of the project does not pose a sustainability problem since the faculty envolved is already engaged in various projects with their students and can exchange experience and contribute to each other objectives. Positive and negative effects of project (to be defined together in planning phase): Positive effects of the project were the opportunity it offered the Brazilian faculty in UFPE and UFSCar to join together, exchange experiences and envisage new ways to develop their academic and social issues within Brazil and between Brazil and Europe. A negative aspect is that there have been too few exchange activities involving the seminar students, both concerning the experience of INCOOP and other local experiences. Local integration of research results in accordance with administrative bodies: The Rector of the Federal University of Pernambuco and his Research ViceRector both attended the final seminar in Recife and supported the idea of getting the university and social movements closer to each other. Furthermore, the deputy secretary of Science and Technology from the City of Recife and his colleague from the State of Ceará participated in the Conference and presented practical contributions. The highlight, however, was the speech given by the National Secretary of Solidarity Economy, Paul Singer (cf. http://www.paulofreirezentrum.at/index.php?List_ID=62 ). The approval of the 27 extension project mentioned above can be seen as a result of this understanding, which should be seen as an experience within a political position assumed more recently by UFPE administration influenced by Paulo Freire’s ideas. Demonstration of applicability of project outcome on a local and/or regional level: The projects methodology is fully applicable in a local and regional level, depending on financial support. We noticed that social groups both from urban and rural areas are rather interested in benefiting from the knowledge accumulated by the University whereas students and faculty aim at getting closer to concrete productive and social development experiences. The topic of the project – the link between knowledge and work for marginalised populations - will remain a main topic of the Paulo Freire-Zentrum in the years to come. Oficinas – workshops organised by the Paulo Freire Zentrum - in Linz in cooperation with members from trade unions, social movements and chamber of labour have already taken place. Their objective was to look for new ways of organising work in Austria and world-wide. Insights from the KEF-project have included. There will be a Vienna Conference on Solidarian Economy in Feburary 2009, which will count with the participation of the Paulo Freire Zentrum. Andreas Novy has participated on a podium discussion in preparation of this event (http://www.pfz.at/index.php?Art_ID=673 ). Paulo Freire Zentrum is part of the inner stakeholder network of Social Polis, an EU-Framework VII sponsored project on Social Cohesion in the City. Insights from the projects will be mobilised for European research on solidarity economy and popular education. Andreas Novy, Ana Fernandes and Carlos Winckler will participate in the main conference in Vienna, may 2009. 3.3 Indicators for project success with regards to project aims and expected results As this project was not aiming at specific quantitative results we can summarize that project aims and expected results were achieved. The workshops that we planed in the preparatory period were realized with some modifications mentioned earlier, the 28 publication appeared or are in the process of publication. 3.4 Project specific publications and potential follow up projects A number of publications were realised during the project period, some are still in progress of publication. - JEP 2/2007 - published - Schulheft – in process - Artikel auf Freire-Website - published - Mitbestimmung – in process The follow-up projects were already mentioned in this report. They are: - Incubadora in Recife - Exchange program A publication of the main speeches given at the joint seminar in March 2008 is being prepared. Its title will be the title of the seminar “Sociedade do conhecimento, polarização socioespacial e educação popular: diálogos entre saberes e experiências para fortalecimento da cidadania”. It will consist in articles prepared by the students during the joint seminar, and papers from Prof. Jonatas Ferreira, Prof. Ana Emilia, Prof. Ana C. Fernandes and Prof. Andreas Novy. As a follow-up projects there is an extension projecto called “Sertão de imagens e imagens do Sertão – percebendo o semi-árido através da cinematografia/CINECLUBE GROTA DO ANGICO” (Images from the Sertao (a region in the interior of Pernambuco called aridity), aridity of images – the perceive the semi-arid region via cinematographic”, together with Prof. Caio Maciel from the Geography department of UFPE. 29 3.5 Status of partner (organisation) and scope for follow up The extension work produced during the project will be used in further scientific undertakings and will help the students in their master theses. Furthermore, it will be integrated in graduate courses on regional development. The intention is to create a proper methodology to link experiences obtained during the project with geographic analyses on topics of regional development and the knowledge economy. At the same time, there are attempts at implementing a project on digital democratisation which will include Prof. Jonatas Ferreira and his students from the sociology department of UFPE. The results will be published on the homepage Pesquisa Inovação, Democracia e Desenvolvimento – www.id.ufpe.br). 30 4 ANNEXES 31 4.1 Research programme Vienna – Overview 1 2 3 4 Group Knowledge economy Social Polarisation Alternatives Sociospatial Polarisation Field Knowledge economy in Vienna Social Polarisation in Vienna Alternatives for socioeconomic development in Vienna Sociospatial polarisation in Vienna Relevant Theories Theories of knowledge economy Theories of social polarisation Technology Transfer Theories of labour market segregation Theories of alternative theories of socioeconomic development Theories of sociospatial polarisation Innovation Policies Theories of vocational training and life-long learning Members Key Institutions Paulo Freire and popular education Theories of segregation and gentrification Theories of UDPs 1.

Parte-se do princípio que o desenvolvimento social deve considerar não apenas estratégias de redução de disparidades de renda, mas também democratização da educação, da ciência e da tecnologia, de modo a propiciar a ampliação da sociedade do conhecimento, particularmente em contextos histórico-espaciais como o de regiões periféricas, em que se situa o estado de Pernambuco. Ao mesmo tempo, é necessário reconhecer que não basta fomentar a economia solidária e a participação política, mas é preciso associar a estas a ampliação do conhecimento, de habilidades tecnológicas e de aprendizagem, bem como de progresso técnico, no contexto de autonomia política e econômica de grupos de produtores e produtoras populares. A apropriação de tecnologias mencionada requer a elevação de condições de educação e de decisão autônoma de tais grupos. Educação, assim, entendida como via para desenvolver nos indivíduos habilidades que lhes permitam compreender as mudanças em curso, o que pressupõe tornarem-se capazes de identificar informações e melhor interpretar e intervir sobre sua realidade numa perspectiva histórica (Delors, 1996). Trata-se de um grande desafio, ou como prefere Delors “uma utopia necessária”, traduzida pelos quatro pilares sobre os quais a educação, a seu ver, deve ser construída: aprender a saber, aprender a fazer, aprender a viver juntos e aprender a ser. Neste sentido, educação – popular, especialmente – objetiva autonomia e capacidade de construção pelo indivíduo e grupos sociais de sua própria história. Ela deriva do debate coletivo acerca de problemas e necessidades dos grupos, possibilitando o desenvolvimento de habilidades para superação de estruturas de opressão e resolução de problemas enfrentados no mundo do trabalho e da produção, inclusive os de natureza tecnológica. Com isso, aprender a saber, fazer, viver juntos e ser propicia aos grupos sociais o senso de responsabilidade e a capacidade de intervenção sobre seus territórios sem os quais não se realiza a efetiva autonomia e a elevação das condições de vida dos cidadãos. Em que pese a extensa experiência brasileira de movimentos e grupos sociais, urbanos e rurais, acerca de participação política, economia solidária e educação popular, pouca reflexão sistematizada tem reunido estas três dimensões, e muito menos incorporado a elas a problemática da aprendizagem, da sociedade do conhecimento e da produção e absorção de tecnologia. 40 Reconhecendo que a universidade produz e acumula importante acervo de conhecimento e tecnologias, com a programação a seguir, esta instituição assume o papel de estimular o debate entre diferentes atores e experiências em torno das idéias de educação popular, participação política e progresso técnico, de modo a contribuir para a redução da polarização socioespacial que tem historicamente caracterizado a sociedade brasileira em geral, e a sociedade pernambucana em particular. 41 4.4 Programm of the Seminary in Recife, june 2007 manhã 8h30 8h45 9h15 9h45 10h00 10h30 11h30 11h45-12h00 Abertura (Pró-Reitor de Pesquisa e Pós-Graduação e Pró-Reitor de Extensão da UFPE, Coordenador do PPGeo, Representantes do Governo do Estado de Pernambuco/SECTMA, da Prefeitura do Recife, Centro Josué de Castro, Centro Paulo Freire, ID) Apresentação de expert/convidado em educação popular (Representante do Centro Paulo Freire) Apresentação de expert/convidado em transferência de tecnologia para grupos populares (Representante da Incubacoop) Economia solidária e educação popular: limites ao progresso técnico Debatedora: Alzira Medeiros (Centro Josué de Castro) Intervalo apresentação de experiências de educação popular e de transferência de tecnologia para grupos de produtores populares Cooperativa de Artesãos de Olinda CPT Sebrae Garanhuns Coordenação: Prof. Dr. Marcos Lima, UFPE Discussão de parâmetros para articular educação popular e transferência de tecnologia Coordenadoras: Ana Cristina Fernandes (UFPE) e Pia Lichtblau (Paulo Freire Zentrum) Debate tarde 14h00 15h15 Apresentação do panorama acerca da sociedade do conhecimento em Recife (alunos do PPG-Geo/UFPE) Apresentação do panorama acerca da polarização socioespacial em Recife (alunos do PPG-Geo/UFPE) Sociopolarização e sociedade do conhecimento: a utopia necessária Debatedor: Representante da SECTMA Debate com o público 15h30 14h30 15h00 16h00 17h00 17h15-18h00 Intervalo apresentação de experiências de educação popular e de transferência de tecnologia para grupos de produtores populares Usina Catende Cooperativa da Incubacoop Centro de Desenvolvimento Ecológico Sabiá Coordenação: Prof. Dr. Jonatas Ferreira, UFPE Educação popular: possibilidades e limites para a redução da polarização socioespacial por meio da sociedade do conhecimento Debatedor: Silke Weber Debate final e encaminhamentos (Anísio Brasileiro/PROPESQ e Alexandre Stamford/DINE) 42 4.5 List of Participants – Seminary june 2007, Recife Seminário “A interação entre economia do conhecimento e polarização socioespacial para fortalecimento da cidadania” Nome completo Instituição Curso Nível escolar E-mail 1 FERNANDA PESSOA DE FRANÇA UFPE SERVIÇO SOCIAL GRADUAÇÃO [email protected] 2 ISAQUE DE ARAÚJO OLIVEIRA UFPE GEOGRAFIA GRADUAÇÃO [email protected] 3 JULIANE DA SILVA PESSOA UFPE SERVIÇO SOCIAL GRADUAÇÃO [email protected] 4 MÁXIMA AVELINO DA SILVA UFPE SERVIÇO SOCIAL GRADUAÇÃO [email protected] 5 JENNIFER MARY ARAÚJO FOSTER UFPE SERVIÇO SOCIAL GRADUAÇÃO [email protected] 6 DAYVISON LEANDRO DOS SANTOS UFPE SERVIÇO SOCIAL GRADUAÇÃO [email protected] 7 VANESCHKA DE ALMEIDA CIPRIANO UFPE SERVIÇO SOCIAL GRADUAÇÃO [email protected] 8 ARABELLA ALBUQUERQUE NUNES MONTEIRO UFPE SERVIÇO SOCIAL GRADUAÇÃO [email protected] 9 DANILO CARVALHO DA SILVA PIRES UFPE SERVIÇO SOCIAL GRADUAÇÃO [email protected] 10 CREUSA DA SILVA MELO UFPE SERVIÇO SOCIAL GRADUAÇÃO [email protected] 11 FELIPE CESAR NASCIMENTO DE CASTRO UFPE SERVIÇO SOCIAL GRADUAÇÃO [email protected] 12 JOSÉLIA CARVALHO DE ARAÚJO UFPE GEOGRAFIA DOUTORADO [email protected] 13 BRÁULIO FELIX MARCELINO UFPE 14 MARCELO RODRIGUES DA SILVA 15 ALMIR FRANCISCO ALVES UFPE GEOGRAFIA GRADUAÇÃO [email protected] 16 FERNANDO FRANCISCO DO NASCIMENTO UFPE GEOGRAFIA GRADUAÇÃO [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] 43 17 MARIA ANGÉLICA BRASILEIRO COSTA PROJ.

Its understanding of reality is based on the idea of comprehending developments integrally, in a dialogical way of "jointly reading and writing the world" (Paulo Freire). Solidarian economy and participatory politics are social innovations which are expected to lead a way towards a sustainable socioeconomic transformation. Both approaches are linked with strong traditions in Brazil: There has been a well-known experiment of participative budgeting in Porte Alegre, and in the Federal State of Rio Grande do Sul, respectively. Participatory Politics is still more a vision than a reality in Brasil, as it is almost anywhere else in the world. Participatory methods and structures, however, have been widely used in Brasil's popular movements. The current president of Brazil, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, has established a Federal Secretary of Solidarian Economy within the Ministry of Labor and Employment. Although the importance of learning in the field of solidarian economy and participatory politics is unquestioned, its potential can still be improved. This workshop aims at exchanging information about a wide range of activities in the field of popular education, bottom-up learning processes and experiments with more egalitarian approaches towards the knowledge economy. The organizers of the seminar intend to bring together researchers, policy makers, and NGO-activists . The seminar is set out to deepen the knowledge of participants in regard to the topics addressed.

Diese Frage diskutierten die 15 TeilnehmerInnen des Workshop Popular Education Today, der am Donnerstag, dem 13. September 2007, im Paulo Freire Zentrum stattfand. Mi 19. Sep 2007 | Gerald Faschingeder Die spannende Diskussion brachte keine einfachen Antworten. Was kann für Bildungsvorhaben in Österreich von Brasilien gelernt werden? Wie kann akademisches Reflexionswissen für PraktikerInnen in sozialen und politischen Organisationen relevant werden? In welchem Verhältnis steht ideologischkritisches zu praktischem Lernen? Wie kann emanzipatorisches Lernen in einem autoritären Umfeld, wie es auch in Österreich weiterhin herrscht, erfolgreich sein? Mit diesen weitreichenden Fragen eröffnete Andreas Novy, wissenschaftlicher Leiter des Freire Zentrums, den Workshop. Novy präsentierte zum Einstieg jenes Projekt, das vom Freire Zentrum gemeinsam mit PartnerInnen in Brasilien durchgeführt wird, und das Erfahrungen und neue Wege der Volksbildung in Brasilien und Österreich heute untersucht. Am Workshop nahmen auch Personen teil, die direkt in diesem Projekt involviert sind. Michaela Hauer, ehrenamtliche Mitarbeiterin des Freire Zentrums, stellte das gemeinsame Seminar vor, das von der Wirtschaftsuniversität (WU) Wien mit der Universität Recife im Sommersemester 2007 durchgeführt worden war. Thema war das Verhältnis von Wissensökonomie und sozialräumlicher Polarisierung. Im Seminar wurde festgestellt, dass es zwei unterschiedliche Sphären des Wissens gebe, die scheinbar unabhängig voneinander parallel existierten: Zum einen gebe es das betriebswirtschaftlich ausgerichtete "wirtschaftliche Wissen", mit dem am Markt tätigen AkteurInnen geholfen wird, ihre Position im globalen Wettbewerb zu stärken. Das andere Wissen wird als "soziales Wissen" bezeichnet und kennzeichnet soziale Organisationen, die jene Menschen unterstützen, die am Markt keinen Platz finden und an den sozialen Rand der Gesellschaft gedrängt werden. Die Spaltung dieser beiden Wissensformen ist Ausdruck der sozialen Spaltung, die unsere Gesellschaft in Österreich heute kennzeichnet. Brasilianische Erfahrungen Ana Fernandes, Universitätsprofessorin in Recife in Nordost-Brasilien, berichtete von sehr ähnlichen Erfahrungen, die sie im Rahmen eines Workshops in Recife machte. Dort gelang es erstmals, ein gemeinsames Seminar von Universitätsangehörigen mit AktivistInnen, sozialen Bewegungen und Kooperativen zu veranstalten. Es zeigte sich auch hier, wie wenig die spezifischen Wissensformen dieser beiden Welten miteinander zu tun haben. Sehr beeindruckt habe die Präsentation von zwei Frauen, die eine Kooperative von MüllsammlerInnen vertraten: Sehr wohl fragten diese nach universitärer Beratung und wissenschaftlicher Begleitung und waren an einem Erfahrungsaustausch sehr interessiert. Geradezu schockierend erschien Ana Fernandes die Reaktion des ebenfalls anwesenden Vizerektors für Forschung ihrer Universität, der diese Anfrage gar nicht verstand. In seinem Weltbild – wie generell im wissenschaftlichen Mainstream – war es nicht vorgesehen, dass auch Müllsammelkooperativen auf das betriebswirtschaftliche Wissen einer Universität zurückgreifen wollen. Dennoch plant Ana Fernandes nun die Einrichtung einer sogenannten "Incubadora". Dies ist eine Einrichtung, in der Angehörige der Universität gemeinsam mit 50 BasisaktivistInnen versuchen, Wissen und Technologie nicht einfach von der Universität zu nicht-universitären Einrichtungen zu transferieren, sondern einen gemeinsamen Lern- und Forschungsprozess zu beginnen, der Kontext-, Fach- und Strukturwissen verbindet. Pia Lichtblau, die das Forschungsprojekt in Brasilien für das Freire Zentrum koordiniert, ergänzte diese Darstellung mit dem Hinweis, dass es für viele AktivistInnen von Kooperativen in Brasilien nicht nur darum gehe, anders zu wirtschaften, sondern sie auch eine andere Lebensform praktizierten. Dieser ganzheitliche Zugang ziele auf eine weitreichende Veränderung der Gesellschaft. Reflektiert wird in solchen Gruppen daher auch über die problematischen Folgen von technischen und organisatorischen Veränderungen auf die sozialen Prozesse innerhalb der Kooperativen und des sozialen Milieus, aus dem sie kommen. Die Degeneration von Solidarökonomie Len Arthur von der Universität Cardiff in Wales, Großbritannien, wurde um einen Kommentar zu diesen Darstellungen gebeten. Er erlebte selbst die Zeit der 1970er und 1980er Jahre, als Kooperativen auch in Europa weit verbreitet waren. Die Fachliteratur dazu zielte aber stets auf die Frage ab, wie man Kooperativen in den konventionellen Markt besser integrieren könne. Dadurch verlören aber die Kooperativen ein spezifisches Merkmal, das auch ihre Qualität ausmache: die interne Demokratie. Die Zusammenführung der zwei Wissensformen sie nicht unproblematisch, so Len Arthur. Sie führe in der Regel zur Übernahme der Sprache der Betriebswirtschaft, die einen Entfremdungsprozess bedinge. Wie solle man denn anders denken, wenn das eigene Sein in Kategorien von "Vision", "Mission", "Strategie" interpretiert werde? Dies treffe auch auf den Begriff "Innovation" zu. In seiner Erfahrung tendieren Universitäten dazu, den Austausch von Wissen als einen EinbahnProzess zu verstehen: Als Wissende wollen sie ihr Wissensgut in die Gesellschaft hineintransferieren. Ohne Wechselseitigkeit werde dies aber nicht zu einem demokratischen und bereichernden Prozess. Emanzipation und Öffentlichkeit In der weiteren Diskussion wurde mehrfach nach dem Begriff "Emanzipation" gefragt, von der auch in Solidaritäts-Netzwerken immer weniger die Rede sei. Die starke Dominanz des Konzepts der "Fairness" sei in diesem Zusammenhang nicht unproblematisch. Dieser Sicht wurde entgegen gehalten, dass es gelte, die FairTrade-Idee zu politisieren. Die Frage sei allerdings, ob diese, sehr marktkompatible Idee, sich für die Öffnung von öffentlichen Räumen für kontroversielle Debatten eigne. Die Schwierigkeiten im Umgang mit den unterschiedlichen Wissensformen und bei der Beantwortung der Frage nach deren Bedeutung für Volksbildung und Solidarische Ökonomie lägen, so der abschließende Tenor der TeilnehmerInnen des Workshops, bei dem Verlust der "Großen Erzählung", die mit einem klaren emanzipatorischen Anspruch auftreten. Vom Willen zu sozialen und politischen Veränderung hänge vieles ab.

Introduction and Content This seminar is called laboratory because of its experimental character. Four cooperation partners from different backgrounds invite critical social researchers and grassroots activists (i.e. development cooperation, anti-globalists, Central- and Eastern European political activists) to participate in a joint discussion and learning process. The goals of the seminar are dissemination of knowledge, an exchange between university and activist experience, and discussions on prospects of transborder co-operations. 3. Seminar Outline (Approximately 25 participants) The seminar shall last for two and a half days and be divided into five parts. It will be based on dialogue and joint reflection of activist and research experiences. Each of the five half-days will be opened by expert input statements. Input statements shall be brief; experts can use flip charts but not overhead or computer support. The respective experts will then function as resource persons for the following discussion. In order to strengthen and improve individual and collective learning endeavors, we intend to prepare a seminar-reader upfront that includes short texts by the invited experts, and possibly other selected articles. Seminar participants are encouraged to read the material before the seminar. This will create a common base for the discussion. Section 1: Friday, September 14, 2007: Afternoon Session (15:30 – 18:30) Topic: Elitist Integration and Norm Making from Above The European Union (EU) and the World Trade Organization (WTO) are actors in norm-making from above. Very often criticism of this norm-making process fails to make an issue of the elitist character and the inherent deficit of democratic 52 organization. As a result protests are frequently nationalistic in character.. A normmaking from above therefore seems to induce a vicious circle. Attaching little value to democratic governance from the start, democratic governance has been dubbed populist while elitist norm-setting has created an aura of expertise and rationality by dominating global discourses. In practice, big business lobbies have often succeeded in presenting economic liberalism as only viable solution, favoring market rule against democratic and participatory governance. In this thematic block, a few examples of this underlying tendency are being presented. Questions for discussion may be: What is the status quo in the confrontation between market rule and democratic regulation? Has the hegemonic discourse that favors economic liberalism reached its peak? How can contradictions of current developments be communicated? Can institutions of elitist integration be reformed? What might be strategies for eventual reforms? Experts (pending): N.N.

Section 2: Saturday, September 15, 2007: Morning Session (10:00 – 13:00) Topic: Socioeconomic Development between Competition and Cooperation Hegemonic discourse presents global development as one of competition. The global players USA and European Union (EU) seem to favor, however, competitive solutions only in domains where they do have sufficient market power, or in domains that do not affect strategic considerations. The EU deems competition to be its ultimate means in fighting low productivity, stagnation of economic growth, and unemployment. EU-measures in this respect are combined in the so-called LisbonStrategy. Although this strategy has not appeared to be overly successful, the EU seems to stick to it. At any rate, EU-policy appears to prefer this kind of economic goals to social targets. Cities and regions are being subdued to this strategy as well. Competition between regions and cities lead city and regional governments to pursue policies that focus on favorable conditions for capital import and accumulation and neglect democratic regulation. Alternative approaches would have to disregard narrow economic perspectives and introduce social and ecological views into socioeconomic development policies. Questions in the seminar might relate to the contradictory context of competition and co-operation. Is competition confined to capitalism? Can it offer something to alternative models of development? Is it a useful concept for analyses or is it an ideological construct? And co-operation? Is co-operation the ultimate solution for alternative development models, or are there obstacles related to co-operative 53 practice?

Experiences from Europe, Latin America, and Asia Regulation determines the socio-economic development of territories. During the 19th century, the nation state became the most dynamic and influential form of socioeconomic development and territorial organization. Borders of nation states became important for citizens rights and socio-economic policies. In the periphery, tariffs and capital controls served as a protective device for economic development. At the end of the 20th century globalization and regionalization have reduced in some regions the importance of these national borders: Elitist regulation from above has facilitated Foreign Direct Investments (FDI). International financial markets have become a key motor of current development. Borders are the focus of this part of the seminar. What are positive aspects, what are negative aspects of borders? Are there differences between borders? Are borders impermeable for all alike? What do border realities imply for future socio-economic development? Experts: (pending) Andrea Komlosy (University of Vienna) Ngai Pun (Demologos) Ana Fernandes (Universidade Federal de Pernambuco) Section 4: Sunday, September 16, 2007: Morning Session (9:30 – 13:00) Topic: Human Rights and the Promotion of Socioeconomic Citizenship The concept of liberalism does mean different things in the US and Europe. There are, however, contradictory aspects within the discourse about liberalism in European as well. Compared to economic liberalism, with its rather clear cut scientific and ideological paradigm, political liberalism seems to be vague and contested. Many people who feel embarrassed when called economic liberals (that is neo-liberal), would subscribe to political liberalism. Why is that so? Can one draw a line between economic and political liberalism? Where are the differences between liberalism and socialism? Is a liberal human right the same thing as a socialist human right? Who defends civic rights? Who defends social rights (housing, health, education, work)? What are the arguments? Can human rights be a foundation of a socio-economic citizenship?

Such alliances seem necessary, however, in order to challenge normmaking from above and establish alternative regional and international development models. Can grassroots initiatives, community groups, and trade unions form such alliances and gain strength in order to counter current elitist hegemony? What are the experiences and insights of activist groups? Are there forms of alliances? What are their successes, what their failures? What are the prospects of future alliances?

Focando desta vez nos jovens – da cidade e do campo –, o presente programa dá seqüência a seminário anterior que procurou discutir formas de aproximação entre sociedade do conhecimento e polarização socioespacial, com vistas à elevação de suas condições de vida e de autonomia política. Como no evento anterior, parte-se do princípio que o desenvolvimento social deve considerar não apenas estratégias de redução de disparidades de renda, mas também democratização da educação, da ciência e da tecnologia, de modo a propiciar a ampliação da sociedade do conhecimento, particularmente em contextos histórico-espaciais como o de regiões periféricas, em que se situa o estado de Pernambuco. Ao mesmo tempo, é necessário reconhecer que não basta fomentar experiências de criação de renda, economia solidária, inclusão digital ou acesso a novas tecnologias e ao conhecimento, mas é preciso associar a estas a ampliação do auto-conhecimento, da autonomia e participação políticas. A apropriação de tecnologias mencionada requer a acesso a conhecimento, mas também habilidades para tomar decisões autonomamente pelos grupos sociais menos favorecidos economicamente, em particular os segmentos jovens destes grupos. Educação, assim, entendida como via para desenvolver nos indivíduos habilidades que lhes permitam compreender seus lugares, sua importância nos seus lugares e as mudanças globais em curso, o que pressupõe tornarem-se capazes de identificar informações e melhor interpretar e intervir sobre sua realidade numa perspectiva histórica (Delors, 1996). Trata-se de um grande desafio, ou como prefere Delors “uma utopia necessária”, traduzida pelos quatro pilares sobre os quais a educação, a seu ver, deve ser construída: aprender a saber, aprender a fazer, aprender a viver juntos e aprender a ser. Neste sentido, educação – popular, especialmente – objetiva autonomia e capacidade de construção pelo indivíduo e grupos sociais de sua própria história. Ela deriva do debate coletivo acerca de problemas e necessidades dos grupos, possibilitando o desenvolvimento de habilidades para superação de estruturas de opressão e resolução de problemas enfrentados no mundo do trabalho e da produção, inclusive os de natureza tecnológica. Com isso, aprender a saber, fazer, viver juntos e ser propicia aos grupos sociais o senso de responsabilidade e a capacidade de intervenção sobre seus territórios sem os quais não se realiza a efetiva autonomia e a elevação das condições de vida dos cidadãos. Dessa forma, procura-se assim articular saber e práxis, como proposto por Paulo Freire, considerando os avanços tecnológicos e oportunidades de crescimento pessoal, social e econômico para os jovens de menor poder aquisitivo. Em que pese a extensa experiência brasileira de movimentos e grupos sociais, urbanos e rurais, acerca de participação política, economia solidária, educação popular e novas tecnologias, pouca reflexão sistematizada tem reunido estas quatro dimensões, e muito 58 menos incorporado a elas a problemática da aprendizagem, da sociedade do conhecimento e da produção e absorção de tecnologia. Reconhecendo que a universidade produz e acumula importante acervo de conhecimento e tecnologias, com a programação a seguir, esta instituição assume o papel de estimular o debate entre diferentes atores e experiências em torno das idéias de educação popular, participação política e progresso técnico, de modo a contribuir para a redução da polarização socioespacial que tem historicamente caracterizado a sociedade brasileira em geral, e a sociedade pernambucana em particular.
