Abstract

This work combines historical reports and the personal experience of the author as an observer and protagonist in the events being retold. Célestin Freinet had a different and specific pedagogical approach where value was placed on the power of words. In line with this premise, the author, as a member of the Freinet movement, adds a personal value to his texts where he narrates his own experiences, turning this narrative into a new document with intrinsic value in terms of both narration and the experience itself. The personal testimony in this work becomes a first-hand account of events that occurred and of which, in many instances, no written accounts are preserved. The experiences of Ferran Zurriaga are related herein, a founding member of ACIES (which in the Franco era was known as the MCEP) and personal protagonist of the recovery of the Freinet Movement in the 1960s during the Franco period in Valencia. The aim is to offer a data set that can contribute to the future reconstruction of our most recent educational history. Permanent teacher training and the ideas of the Freinet Movement in Valencia, as well as their spread into other areas of Spain, are the specific purpose of the author’s contribution.

Key words: pedagogical renewal movements; Freinet Pedagogy; Pedagogy Section of Lo Rat Penat; ACIES; MCEP; Valencia.
