Symposium
Contribution
An "internationalism in action": in 1924, Georges Lapierre recalls in these terms how he intends to help promote and disseminate the ideas of New Education among teachers. Leader in France of the Syndicat national des Instituteurs, militant of the trade unions’ vocation to support the issue of professional and pedagogical innovations, he participates in the creation of the International Federation of Teachers' Associations (1926), which aims at the development of an international pedagogical cooperation. Editor of the Revue de l’enseignement primaire, and then of the journal L’École libératrice that takes over, Lapierre thus becomes a major actor in the international flow of educational ideas. The contribution will focus on Lapierre life’s route, seeking to highlight his strategies for linking different networks and to understand his role as a “smuggler” during the interwar years. It will try to analyze how, in a context of internationalization of educational issues marked by the issue of pacifism, Lapierre sought, with others, to articulate union issues with political and educational debates.
