INFACT Social Analysis for Action | Freire Institute

Paulo Freire’s philosophy of education has had a profound impact on people throughout the world working for social change. His work has been applied not only to formal educational settings but to many diverse social movements.

Paulo Freire and Critical Pedagogy

Education for Social Change

Learn the process of   social analysis   with communities in the work for social change 

Inspired by Paulo Freire’s methodology and approach, INFACT workshops are geared towards reflection on underlying values and motivations, a detailed analysis of our communities, the elaboration of common goals and visions, and a range of tools to help give a sense of direction to an organization’s work.

The process is based on intensive group work in which people reflect on their lives through several frameworks which help them to clarify four areas crucial to community transformation:

The four areas overlap at various points in a continuous process of action, reflection action, as participants seek to find the connections that will help them re-evaluate their experience. For organizations, this course is available in virtual, in-person, or hybrid formats to meet diverse organizational needs and preferences. For individuals, we will run occasional virtual workshops, and you are encouraged to join the notification list.
