Using PRA for a radical new approach to adult literacy

Publication year: 
1995

Outlines the REFLECT method, a new approach to adult literacy techniques developed by ActionAid. REFLECT stands for Regenerated Freirean Literacy through Empowering Community Techniques. The approach seeks to build on Freirian theory but provide a more effective methodology by drawing on PRA visualisation methods. Initial observations are that REFLECT is keeping learners motivated, teaching them literacy more effectively and linking literacy to wider development based on the agenda of local communities.
