This school arises from critical social work to transfer important knowledge to live successfully in a biodiverse environment. The intergenerational learning as resistance to an extractive economy that systematically impoverishes and dispossesses them. The qualitative methodological contributions to learning by doing were: Ludic-Intergenerational Workshops, Daily Coexistence Space, and Knowledge Dialogue Meetings community-university. Concluding that participatory approaches must be continually rethought to include invisible people in circumstances of poverty.
