Contar histórias de vida: um processo intercultural de conscientização e de aprendizagem ao longo da vida

Abstract

This paper presents preliminary results of a study that forms part of an investigation elapsing within the framework of a PhD where, through an educational experience, it approaches the construction of identity, in its relationship with the world, of 6 women in a precarious social situation, with ages between 53 and 78 years, living in the north of Portugal. The aim is to understand whether these individuals, when they describe their life stories, are more or less aware of themselves, in an intercultural share of their experiences with other elements. It is also intended to involve the individuals in a process of knowledge through a perspective of learning throughout life.
