Radikalno izobraževanje odraslih v družbenih gibanjih

Beka, Milica (author), Samaluk, Barbara (mentor)

Magistrska naloga se osredotoča na radikalno izobraževanje odraslih znotraj najnovejših družbenih gibanj. Temelji na študiji primera Gibanja za dostojno delo in socialno družbo, ki se s pomočjo radikalnega izobraževanja odraslih bori za delavske pravice in blaženje posledic prekarnega dela in prekarizacije. Znotraj te študije primera sem proučevala pomen kritičnega opismenjevanja o posledicah neoliberalne hegemonije in s tem povezane prekarizacije. Zanimal me je tudi razvoj identitete aktivistov in uporabnikov Gibanja ter mobilizacija prekarnih delavcev, saj je ključna za doseganje sprememb na trgu dela. Ugotovila sem, da je kritično opismenjevanje znotraj Gibanja razumljeno kot del kontrahegemonskega boja proti neoliberalni ideologiji in njenim prekarnim učinkom. Kritično opismenjevanje je zato usmerjeno v ozaveščanje o pasteh prekarnega in atipičnega dela ter o delavskih in socialnih pravicah, izvaja pa se tako navznoter kot navzven. Aktivisti Gibanja se osredotočajo na različne ciljne skupine, kot so prekarni delavci, študenti, dijaki in brezposelni. Dialog omogoča potek kritičnega opismenjevanja, ki na Gibanju poteka prek različnih predavanj, delavnic, bralnih krožkov in pravnih svetovanj. Ugotovitve tudi kažejo, da je radikalno izobraževanje odraslih vplivalo na izoblikovanje individualne in skupinske identitete aktivistov Gibanja ter na grajenje skupinske identitete nekaterih prekarnih skupin delavcev. Radikalno izobraževanje odraslih omogoča tudi opolnomočenje prekarnih delavcev, ki se kaže v ponudbi podpore pri organizaciji specifičnih skupin prekarnih delavcev (npr. študenti arhitekture in trafikanti), proaktivnem pristopu, ki omogoča doseganje ranljivih in atomiziranih delavcev, prek pravnega svetovanja in podpore pri organizaciji protestov. Prav tako ugotovitve kažejo, da je dialoški pristop radikalne paradigme izobraževanja odraslih ključen tudi pri mobilizaciji delavcev, ki pa ne vodi vedno v uspešno reševanje strukturnih problemov.

• Title: Radical education of adults in social movements

Abstract

The master's thesis focuses on radical adult education within the latest social movements. It is based on a case study of the Movement for Decent Work and a Welfare Society, which fights for workers' rights with the help of radical adult education and mitigating the consequences of precarious work and precariousness. Within this case study, I studied the importance of critical literacy about the consequences of neoliberal hegemony and related precarization. I was also interested in the development of the identity of activists and users of the Movement and the mobilization of precarious workers, as it is the key to achieving changes in the labor market. I found that critical literacy within the Movement is understood as part of counter-hegemonic struggle against neoliberal ideology and its precarious effects. Critical literacy is therefore aimed at raising awareness of the pitfalls of precarious and atypical work and labor and social rights and is carried out both internally and externally. Activists of the Movement focus on different target groups, namely precarious workers, students, high school students and the unemployed. Dialogue facilitates the course of critical literacy, which takes place at The Movement through various lectures, workshops, reading groups and legal advice. The findings also show that radical adult education influenced the development of the individual and group identity of Movement’s activists and the construction of the group identity of some precarious groups of workers. Radical adult education also enables the empowerment of precarious workers, which is manifested in the offer of support in the organization of specific groups of precarious workers (e.g. architecture students and news-stand vendors), a proactive approach that enables reaching vulnerable and atomized workers, through legal advice and support in the organization of protests. The findings also show that dialogic approach of the radical paradigm of adult education is also crucial in mobilizing workers, but it does not always lead to a successful solution to structural problems.
