Labor in the field of education: Fórum-Cosate as a strategy of resistance against the neoliberal machine

Abstract

This article presents the experience of a research-intervention carried out in the municipality of Serra, metropolitan region of Vitória, Espírito Santo, aiming to strengthen practices in the school context that can face the neoliberal rationality that considers education as private goods of economic value. It describes the constitution of a forum for education workers to develop strategies that could challenge the sickness process underway in schools, due to the economics-guided thinking in that municipality. Its ethical direction, the inseparability between clinic and politics as well as the investment in the creation of collective tactics to fight sickness in the school units of the city are highlighted.
