Education for Social Transformations

Education for Social Transformations

This project is part of the activities of the “Education for social transformations” initiative.

This initiative was born from the meeting of three teams :

The Circle of Emancipatory Pedagogies (le Cercle des Pédagogies Emancipatrices), a working group formed in September 1997 after the death of Paulo Freire, with the double objective of identifying how the Freire\'s thought and practice have enriched a number of initiatives in France, in community education, in the education system generally, and in social development, and why Paulo Freire is so little known in France.

UNESCO, who had separately taken the initiative to organise a seminar in honour of Paulo Freire for the fifth anniversary of his death.

The Centre Paulo Freire at Recife joined these two other partners to organise the seminar “Education and Social transformation: questionning our practice. Exchange of knowledge and practice in the light of Paulo Freire” at Recife, the 2-4 May, 2002.
