Abstract

This article deals with the history of the People’s University “Juan R. Lestani”, in the province of Chaco in the North-East of Argentina, between the late 1920s and the 1960s. To this end, I examine the views that influenced in its configuration, the traces of its European origins, the training offered and the features of the building. I introduce the article with a description of the historical context in which this University is constituted, and of the European origins of the People's Universities. This introduction contributes to an understanding of this local institution as a manifestation of a broader historical context, which enables us to discover those features it has in common with similar institutions as well as those that are unique.  The institution’s archives, interviews to former and current administrators and local newspapers constituted the corpus of primary sources used.
