Latin American Dialogues is an exchange forum organized by the Network of Researchers and Social Organizations of Latin America (RIOSAL-CLACSO). These dialogues emerged in the context of the pandemic, driven by the urgent need to come together (primarily) and reflect collectively and regionally on what was happening in our territories in general, and in experiences linked to popular education in particular. With the rise of the far right and neo-fascism in the region, we determined that it was necessary to reclaim this space and resume the dialogue so that, through diverse voices, perspectives, and narratives, we could recover, make visible, and reframe the diversity of resistances, struggles, and memories woven into the thinking, doing, and feeling of Our America. On this occasion, we are opening ourselves to a new exchange with educators from popular schools in Rome, Italy, following the conviction shared by those of us who are part of RIOSAL, to generate and sustain spaces for encounter and collaboration that prefigure more just and equitable worlds.
