Abstract

This article examines the political and educational training sector of the Movement of Homeless Workers (MTST), seeking to relate it to the political training actions of the Movement and especially its forms of struggle, which have provoked significant changes in the confrontations and social relations among the members of the movement. Analyzing the actions of this sector means understanding the social base, political project, and internal organization and forms of action, which implied the adoption of a qualitative methodology based on interviews technique.
