Abstract

Universidade Católica de Minas Gerais. Bolsista pela CAPES. renatasivieromartins@gmail.com Reflect about the human formation that takes place during the self-managerial process of Solidary Economy Networks is the purpose of the present paper. In Brazil, in especial way, the Solidary Economy proposes the constitution of Solidary Entrepreneurship Networks as a form of political, social and economic strengthening against the exploitation imposed by the capitalist system. Self-management is one of the principles that support the work of Solidary Organizations. By mean of creation of Networks and the self-management as a method of managing, the paradigm that knowledge is only in the hands of some is broken. Knowledge can be shared and collectively built. The experience of the Recyclable Material Collectors Network of the South and Southwest of Minas Gerais is presented. The research points to the importance of the taken collectively decisions, because they allow knowledge exchange, sharing existing ones in a way that everybody feels involve in the process. Popular Education and Solidary Economy were used as theoretical reference to support the reflection. Participant observation was the methodology used in the research.
