Paulo Freire Study Workshop

The relevance of Paulo Freire's work today

Putting Paulo Freire into practice: The relevance of Freire's work today

Are you seeking more effective, equitable ways to engage with communities, facilitate learning, or drive social change? Paulo Freire's pioneering work in education and community action offers powerful tools and perspectives that remain incredibly relevant today, both inside and outside the classroom.

This workshop moves beyond theory to explore the practical application of Freire's core principles. You will learn how to:
  • Understand context: Learn to listen to and analyze the specific needs, challenges, and strengths of the communities you work with.
  • Affirm lived experience: Practice methods for identifying and prioritizing the issues that matter most to the people involved.
  • Promote dialogue and critical consciousness: Gain strategies to facilitate meaningful conversations that empower individuals and groups to critically examine their realities and envision change.
  • Connect theory to your practice: Actively relate Freire's concepts to your own professional role or community involvement, identifying concrete ways to adapt and apply his approach.
Through interactive discussions, analysis of relevant examples and collaborative exercises, you won't just learn about Freire – you'll develop the insights and practical frameworks needed to make a tangible difference in your work. Leave equipped with actionable strategies for more participatory, empowering, and effective engagement.

Who should attend?

This workshop is ideal for educators, community organizers, social workers, facilitators, activists, researchers, and anyone passionate about developing dialogue, critical thinking, and community-led action.
