Dibuix (cultural pedagogies)

This chapter discusses the fieldwork carried out by our research group in five secondary schools in the metropolitan area of Barcelona, where we worked with groups of students in the last year of compulsory education to carry out collaborative ethnographies on how young people learn in and outside school. We have framed this process as a living inquiry that draws on visual culture production. In this project, visual culture is not a thing, but a way of being, a practice that is formed within the development of a critical engagement with learning practices. In the text we will reflect on the transition the young people went through during the inquiry process, as they assumed the role of researchers and contributed to the project. We find that this project expands our notion of both learning and visual culture, as the project format provides a space that is able to receive and interact with the contributions of young people.
