Social Technologies such as the pedagogy of alternation have been considered strategic initiatives for the dynamization of public policies. One of the biggest challenges, however, has been the survival and expansion of these technologies to other spaces and contexts. In this sense, the present work aimed to analyze how the pedagogy of alternation was consolidated in the locality in which it emerged and became a social technology recognized as generating social transformations. Theoretically, the Actor-Network Theory was adopted. The methodological procedures were based on secondary sources of documentary data and interviews, and the data analysis was performed through the translation concept. As a result, it was found that the Pedagogy of Alternation was initially a process negotiated by many actors with different objectives and diverse interests. The participation of families, the support of the Catholic Church and the State Government and a set of inscriptions, including non-human actors, defined the possibilities of both local execution and its expansion to other regions and countries.
