urban popular university (unu)

UNU intends to overcome the rigid division between theory and practice (Santos, 2003) and to enable social activists to include the research, training, and action dimension of their work into a consistent strategy of refl-action. The practical consequences of such attitude are at least two-folds. On one side it is a matter of networking in active ways with International, Academic and Research bodies whose activities are instrumental and are intersecting the activities of social movements. On the other side social movements are deepening their self-perception as entities capable of turning their action-research into both a source of media and awareness raising work and a basis for improved internal training and capacity building.
