Organizing for change
There is no better educational process than to be organizing and taking action for change. These sessions use ideas and strategies from the work of Paulo Freire, Saul Alinsky and others to help participants to think more clearly about their practice in terms of:
- Building alliances, networking, practical steps to engage and retain support for your cause;
- Decision-making, organizational structures, forms of leadership;
- Conflict resolution, group dynamics, negotiating, dialogue;
- Strategy-building, planning, allocating resources;
- Tactics for action, creativity, renewing enthusiasm for action;
- Action-Reflection, training, learning from experience.
Organised by
The Freire Institute is an organization for community-based learning. In our programmes your own knowledge and life experience becomes the raw material for education. We are named after the Brazilian educator Paulo Freire whose work has inspired many social movements and educational programmes around the world.
Education can be a tool for individual and community empowerment and transformation. Our approach is informal, challenging and exciting. You do not need any formal qualifications to take part, just a commitment to learning and change.
