Abstract

This text addresses the educators training topic. Its main goal is to demonstrate that the own educators training is an essential educational principle of the educational project of Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra (MST). Combined with other principles, the own educators training is fundamental for the education of the Sem Terra, according to the pedagogy and the political, and economic MST guidelines. The MST has moved forward in this issue, recurrent in the history of education and existing in theoretical-practical initiatives from different workers social movements as of the XIX century. This investigation is integrated into a larger project and was carried out based on bibliographic and documentary research. The procedures performed were the retrieval, selection and reading of works and texts related to the topic and documents published by the MST. Afterwards, the collected data were systematised and interpreted.
