This article analyses the convergences and divergences in strategies which have sustained four experiences of education led by social movements in Latin America. In these experiences, we identified certain aspects, beyond financial support, which contribute to the permanency of the experiences. The aspects are as follows: the establishment of the community link with the movement and the educational experiences; the tension between civil society funding and state funding; the alternative processes in the administration and taking of decisions managed by educational proposals; the articulation of local, national and international networks; and, the defence of autonomy faced with the demands of state financial responsibility. All of these aspects indicate tensions and alternatives in sustainability processes of the educational projects studied.

Palabras clave : Education; social movements; Latinamerica; self-management; alternative education.
