“Quem Educa os Educadores?” A Autogest o e os Processos de Forma o nas Incubadoras Tecnológicas de Cooperativas Populares

In recent years, several agencies have been created to support solidarity initiatives. Among these agencies aretechnology incubators of popular cooperatives (ITCPs). Within this context, the article aims to identify whether theITCP/UNEB, the ITES/UFBA, and the INCOOP/UFSCar are structured in a self-management way and whetherthey perform formal education activities. The research had a qualitative nature, by means of semi-structuredinterviews and documentary reviews. For the analysis of the data, we adopted the content analysis. The surveyresults showed that there is not a more solid proposal to hold discussions about its theory and practice. Theconcern seems to be the most technical aspect of incubation than the thoughts that generate the incubation itselfand which remit to the solidarity economy and self-management. In this sense, there seems to be a practicaldifficulty for the exercise of self-criticism in the incubators.
