WHAT IS POPULAR EDUCATION?

• Developing a critical awareness about the world we live in
• Promoting social and environmental justice -over economic gain
• Valuing creative, emotional knowledge rather than just facts

• Getting to know the group and its context beforehand and adopting our sessions to meet their needs.
• Working with existing experiences and knowledge within groups in a non-heirarchical way
• Stimulating debate and free thinking rather than dictating facts.
• Helping with future action plans, looking at local opportunities for organising, networking contacts for training etc.
