People working together around the world to generate ideas and action for social change
Popular education is a tradition that arose in Latin America in the first half of the twentieth century, although its ideological roots stretch back much further. It is based on the understanding that, in a context of social injustice, education can never be politically neutral. If it does not explicitly attempt to transform society in favour of the oppressed, then it is complicit in maintaining the existing structures of injustice.
