Abstract

This study outlines the aspects that are crucial to understanding the Popular University Project begun in Spain in 1901. After a brief historical analysis, its present situation is explained against the backdrop of adult education as an in-depth philosophy, and the project is shown to be valid even today, in our society. The primary feature of the project is its organization in the form of a network, not only nationwide, but in terms of its relationship with other popular universities, particularly those in South America, which constitute its main source of work.


Although it was established more than one hundred years ago in Europe and South America, the project continues to be an
institution for adult education that offers an unusual form of training adapted entirely to the needs of its students.
