With contribution from authors who worked on the notion of organizing-knowing-learning as a process (Gherardi organizational learning are collective ways of doing, they are moving and unstable, cognizable by learning and knowing. They are established in a network of heterogeneous relations in multiple forms of spatialities, and they can be inscribed and form textures of practices, whose conditions for possibilities for achievement and participation are not given, also serving as a means to combat, overcome inequalities, and to form other doings and practices.
