The article presents the ideas and practices of care and learning related to a narrative approach in vocational training. Autobiographical research is proposed as a way to foster attention, reflexivity and transformative learning for care professionals. The author suggests a practice in which adults are considered as witnesses of experience, i.e. life experiences related to care and invited to investigate their knowledge through autobiography (memories of care in their life), reflective thinking (deconstruction of the hidden care curriculum) and generative conversations (learning from each other in group contexts). Cooperative research is proposed as a model for structuring the course of care.
