Abstract	In this article we trace the circumstances that led to the emergence of student political activism and the foundation of the Federacion de Estudiantes Campesinos Socialistas de Mexico (FECSM). The FECSM organization, that assembles students from teacher-education rural schools (escuelas normales rurales), arose as part of the post-revolutionary educational and social project specifically promoted by Lazaro Cardenas del Rio, and became a major student organization all through the twentieth century in Mexico. Additionally, we present characteristic aspects of the conditions and the dynamics under which the teacher education rural schools were founded, the influence that Cultural Missions had on the organization´s emergence and prominence, and the group´s ideological definition as Left-wing. Then we argue that the FECSM organization enabled student movements to have an independent voice and to establish constructive dialogue with the Mexican government, sometimes in a more efficient manner than that of the directors of these schools. Finally, we present vignettes of student activism discourse that account for the political positioning achieved by their organization since the 1930s, in a revision that goes from 1933 to 1939.
