If you think about some reports of the coordinators of Popular Education group about their difficulties as group facilitators, the author considerer that the lack of major selfawareness and consciousness about internal process, could take the coordinator to an inadequate posture in front of the community in which he or she intended to facilitate the consciousness, in this terms the coordinator can project the unsolved or unclarified personal aspects in the community, or even manipulate it's participants. She also takes into account, that's not enought the theoretical formal knowledgment or the good intention, it's necessary to the coordinator to process specific conditions: a real and deep respect for human being; a capacity to perceiv through comunication the meaning underneath the words; transparent in the way of being, not assuming false postures in group, as well as certain facility in comunicate whith the community facilitating to the participants the perception of the above mentionned aspects. Yet considered, the fact that the absence of these conditions or the some of them, have oriented very good professionals, to unproductive practice, in the field of popular education. At last, she propose the development of a work, in which she search to associate two fields of her professional background: her work as groups facilitators, and the experience as an educator in a humanistic approach, helping each coordinators to achieve insights towards facilitator's attitudes, indispensable to an affective practice in popular education.
