The objective of this article is to reflect upon questions related to the formation of teachers for adult and youth education based on the experience of the Collectives of Self-formation organised by the Service of Support for Research in Education (SAPE), taking into consideration expressions of the local culture, its singularities and the different kinds of daily knowledge that are produced in educational practices, as well as the variety of individuals involved, their life histories and the relations between what we are and what we do and including the possible articulation based on differences and what can be produced in the interstice between different places. It suggests as possible proposals for formation: ways of organising teachers in each educational unit in a shared process of self-formation, which allow them to reflect on their practice, the creation of spaces for exchange and conviviality in which individuals can exercise criticality, creativity and a strengthening of the relations between practice/theory/practice, promoting the autonomous and systematic exercise of their actions, knowledge and powers.
