Programme

Paulo Freire and the pedagogy of liberation: problematising pedagogy, conscientisation, the oppressor-oppressed relationship, a critique of the ‘banking’ conception of education, and the centrality of dialogue.
Education as a political and emancipatory practice: the non-neutrality of education, the development of critical consciousness, participation, and the formation of autonomous individuals capable of transforming social reality.
Freire, interculturalism and social justice: a reinterpretation of Freirean pedagogy through ‘unity in diversity’, the fight against social exclusion, lifelong learning, and the democratic and transformative role of schools.
