This paper discusses the integral role of education within Latin American social movements, categorizing it into informal, non-formal, and formal types. It highlights how participation in these movements acts as an educational experience that alters participants' perspectives on power and politics. The historical context of political education, particularly through socialism and anarchism, is explored, emphasizing the evolution of alternative education methods that disrupt conventional learning. The paper further examines the vibrancy of social movements in Latin America since the 1980s, attributing their strength to educational focus and strategizing against contemporary political challenges.
