The learning process has been often the focus in the academic environment. Following these discussions, this study has the aim to analyze, under the perspective of the Theory of Historical-Cultural Activity and its expansive cycle, developed by Engestrom, and from collective practice of interaction the expansive learning process in a popular co-operative incubated by the Technological Incubator of Popular Cooperatives from the Federal University of Parana. Our purpose is that the cooperative environment makes the learning process able and that the process is socially built, according to the interaction between the individual and the environment and participates in the creation of a new reality. Searching for the understanding of this phenomenon a qualitative research was developed, exploring oral history as the research method. In this context, a bibliographic and documental review was chosen to guide us to an empiric analysis of the case by semi-structured interviews and observations. The results obtained from the studied theory and analysis of the empiric cases helped us to understand and recognize the importance of the social relations and the influence that historicity, the existence of many voices and the contradictions make on the individuals and their practices and point out the existence of a continuing learning process by the co-operators that took part in the studies through a movement of co-operation and interaction, that makes possible building an environment that promotes a learning process, in which the individuals are able to increase the learning process received by the agents involved in the process of cooperation. It was also noticed that the co-operators are able to expand teachings received by the incubator, adapting these teachings to their realities and developing new practices. Nevertheless, we understand that this co-operative was still not able to achieve the autonomy and the independency in its communication with the market and consequently cannot overcome its dependency of the supporting organs and donators of recycled materials, being the ones also the main co-operative customers.
