Abstract

Of struggles and resistances, of organization and hopes; the student movement has been at the heart of the thought of change and the collectivization of individual sentiments. In the long history of Latin America, student movements have represented the organization of the dream for transformation and the thoughts of change for liberation from oppression. Thus, the presence of dictatorships that overlooked thought oppressed any kind of organization and simplified the university to a center for exporting knowledge as a commodity. However, the regulations that simplified student activities could not silence the voices of young people and the thoughts of tireless students who sought change, but above all conceived the university as a space to collectively reflect the social reality they dreamed of.
