Popular Education
Popular Education
From 2012 to 2016, I was part of a project on popular education for Adult Literacy and Education coordinated by Colegio Madrid High School in Mexico City. Since 1985, a group of teachers and students has prepared for six months each year to teach in rural and indigenous communities. We were inspired by Paulo Freire's activism and work. We read and discussed Freire's work, which emphasized liberating and horizontal education.
