Resumo:The social movements in the dynamics of a country every time gain greater interest in the world democracies, with special attention in Venezuelan, whose democracy is strongly compromised these latest years. The college student leaderships highlight among these movements, assuming themselves during the years 2007 and 2014 as one of the most important cores with major importance in the politic and social dynamics of Venezuela. These groups, that showed up since 2007 associated to the denominated «fights for the defense of liberty» have got such an importance to receive the recognition of the public national and international opinion. This article emerges from the PhD research Signification of liberty in the university student leadership (2016), and is aimed to represent some ideas on liberty and the protests of 2007 and 2014, led by university student leaders from some of the most important universities of Venezuela. It was developed throughout the experiential-subjective epistemological approach with the phenomenological qualitative research tradition. The concept of discursive technology was developed to take the experiences of the very subjects involved. The results suggest that liberty is strongly rooted to processes of political and social participation in the country, developing an extra university approach for the development of the actions. This approximation to liberty is energized by the constituted power, family, language, ethics and moral, and projected towards the actions executed for the transformation of the country, either in students pro or contra the revolutionary government.
