Las escuelas del barrio de San Jorge en Pamplona, catalizadoras de una comunidad (1933-1983)
Abstract
This article shows the school situation of the neighborhood of San Jorge, a peripheral, industrial and worker immigration area of Pamplona between 1933 and 1983. It shows initiatives of pressure on the authorities and the importance of social action in the implementation of school facilities and its subsequent use. From the Second Republic to a dictatorial time that evolves towards constant citizen proposals at the end of the sixties, this article revealed the importance of schools for formal education and also for the use of facilities to channel collective activity and group identity within an urbanism that did not foresee spaces of encounter. The interaction between social initiative and official educational policy shows that the involvement of the neighbors was decisive to overcome the shortcomings of disorderly growth.
