[Health_Education_Promotion] Registration now open for Popular Education Workshop May 17th- CHES credits available

[Alissa Leavitt (Green)]

Introduction to Popular Education

Hosted by the OPHA Health Promotion and Education Section
Presented by the Community Capacitation Center

Popular education is a highly effective strategy for building
knowledge and skills, developing leadership, and organizing for social
justice. Most closely associated with the adult literacy work of
Brazilian Paulo Freire, popular education is used around the world in
many fields. It is applicable to all areas of educational practice.
Popular education is based on the idea that, no matter our occupation
and level of formal education, we all know a great deal as a result of
our life experience. Therefore educators should start with what people
already know and build on it.

In this workshop, you will become familiar with:

• The underlying philosophy of popular education and key popular
education methods, such as brainstorming, sociodramas (social skits),
cooperative learning, role plays, and dinámicas (educational games)
• How to move through the cycle of praxis (from action to reflection
to action) in the course of a class
• How participants can apply what they are learning to their day-to-day work
• How this method can be used to teach any subject
• The history of popular education and how it grew out of the lived
experience of people working for social change.

*Registration: Space is limited and participants will be registered on
a first-come, first served basis. Visit:
